Dear all What is the preferred spreadsheet-like x-delimited data format for use with R? Should I prefer tab-, comma-, space- or some_other_delimitor-seprated data?
I'm asking this because I've been once bitten by CSV data containing ` ' ' (apostrophe) symbols that R couldn't easily digest. Probably no the best approach, I've eventually inspected the document and removed the apostrophes manually. But I'd rather avoid such issues in the future.
