Hello,
* I read in a server weblog with read.table. -> OK. * I look for the downloaded-size-values (filesize of the download) -> OK * I found "-" and wanted to substitute them with "0" and used: weblog$V8[ weblog$V8 == "-" ] <- 0 -> OK * checked the contents on "-" vs. "0" and found all "-" substituted by 0 -> OK * when then looking at str(weblog), the "-" will stay in the levels, mentioned for the variable weblog$V8 -> BAD! Is this snormal behaviour? Do I have to throw out the unwanted level by myself?
