I am trying to read in data from an instrument that is recorded in
hexadecimal format. Using either:
y.hex <- read.table(file="hex.data", as.is=TRUE)
or
y.hex <- read.table(file="hex.data", text=TRUE)
gets all the data in just fine except points like `055E` or `020E`. In
these cases, the E is stripped so I get just 055 or 020.
You need to read the ?read.table help. as.is and text don't do anything
like what you want.
The argument you need to use is colClasses. I think you want to set it
to "character".

The question is how should this data be imported to avoid the E-ending
problem?
(By the way, my follow-up is to convert this data using, `y <-
strtoi(y.hex, 16L)`)
Thanks for any suggestions,
