Hi David,
1) My code is as follows:
x=read.table("file",sep="\t")
prate<-x[,2]
lrates<-(x[,3])
When I do:
print (typeof(lrates)): I get "integer"
When I do:
for (line1 in lrates) {
lsp<-unlist(strsplit(line1,"\\,"))
}
I get some intermediate value
2) With options()$dec, I get "NULL"
I wonder whether thats what you want,
Gaurav
