Hi,
I am trying to read a series of stock tickers into R, and I'm running
into trouble with Ford (F) and the old ATT (T). Read.table seems to
interpret these as boolean values instead of strings, even when I set
colColumns to a vector of character(0)'s. Is there a way to convince it
to read
Try this:
Lines - Stock
+ T
+ F
+
DF - read.table(textConnection(Lines), header = TRUE,
+colClasses = character)
class(DF$Stock)
[1] character
