Dear R experts---I would like to write a replacement for the read.csv function that is less general, but also more efficient.
could someone please provide me with a skeleton function that shows me how to read the arguments and return a data frame for a call to a C function that handles returned.data.frame = my.read.csv(file, header = TRUE, sep = ",", quote="\"", dec=".", fill = TRUE, comment.char="", ...) this may be very difficult, of course, in which case writing such a function would not be worth it. I guess I would be happy just to learn how to return a basic data frame that holds data vectors that are either strings or numbers---nothing more complex. help appreciated. /iaw ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
