Hello, For reasons I don't understand, data() imports CSV (Comma-Separated Values) as if they were delimited by semicolons instead of commas. (Are semicolon-separated Comma-Separated-Value files common somewhere?) Given that this is the case, if I choose to put comma-delimited CSV files in my data directory, what is the preferred method of loading these into memory?
data("filename") would be nice, but not applicable given the above conversion issue. So, this was the best I came up with: read.csv(file.path(.find.package("pkg"), "data", paste("filename", "csv", sep = "."))) However, given that others undoubtedly like to include (non-semicolon) .csv files in their packages and load them easily, I would like to know if there is a more elegant way to load these files. Perhaps an annotation in the data/00Index or /data/datalist file that I am unaware of?
