Is there any way to tell fread how to look for -- or not to look for -- quoted strings? In the standard read.table I can use quote="". Since I see no such argument is there a good workaround?
The data I'm trying to read are not quoted, in the sense that quotes do not define the beginning and end of fields. However there are quoted strings that sometimes appear inside a field, and those should be preserved when after reading. And sometimes, the quoted strings inside the field are actually at the beginning of the field, so fread thinks that the field itself is quoted and errors with a message that it expected to see a field separator but instead saw more text. Thanks, John
