Thanks for the hint - with a little adaptation (employing as.character) I could solve my problem:

c <- read.csv2(textConnection(as.character(dat[7,8])))

Best wishes,
Felix

Dear Listmembers,

I'm looking for a convenient way to read csv-data which are stored in
variables of data frames.
I'm working with nested csv-data: one of the columns of the first table stores a long string containing a second csv-coded table. My problem is to
parse that second-order csv-table.

As the read.csv command requires a link to a file, I couldn't get it to read the data from a variable. I also tried to copy the content of the variable into the clipboard to use the read.csv(pipe("pbpaste"))-function, but didn't
come to a solution ...

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Felix
