When I submit similar code (below), the csv file keeps the 0 in front of
the 10252.
intro <- data.frame()
intro[1,1] <- "010252"
write.csv(intro, file='intro.csv')
Have you tried viewing the csv file with a text editor (e.g., Notepad)? If
you view the csv file in spreadsheet software (e.g., Excel) it may format
the values as numbers automatically.
