Hi, you are on the wrong help-list. This list is meant for problems regarding the data.table package, which is just one R package: http://datatable.r-forge.r-project.org/
So where you actually want to post is the R help-list: https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help Having said that, before you post your problem there I would play a little bit more with the read-functions in R. From your input, it looks as if you have a CSV-file in European format. So try read.csv2("file.csv") for a start. If that doesn't work, repost your problem to the R-help list and do provide as many information as possible (does any of your cells contain special characters? does any column contain a semicolon in the names? etc.) HTH Christoph On Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 3:20 PM, aaurouss <[email protected]>wrote: > Hello, > > Here's my problem : > > I have a csv file which I have to read with read.table() function (or > read.csv).
