Dear R-developers,

I came to a somewhat unexpected behaviour of read.csv() which is trivial but 
worthwhile to note -- my data involves a protein named "1433E" but to save 
space I drop the quote so it becomes,

Gene,SNP,prot,log10p
YWHAE,13:62129097_C_T,1433E,7.35
YWHAE,4:72617557_T_TA,1433E,7.73

Both read.cv() and readr::read_csv() consider prot(ein) name as (possibly 
confused by scientific notation) numeric 1433 which only alerts me when I tried 
to combine data,

all_data <- data.frame()
for (protein in proteins[1:7])
{
   cat(protein,":\n")
   f <- paste0(protein,".csv")
   if(file.exists(f))
   {
     p <- read.csv(f)
     print(p)
     if(nrow(p)>0) all_data  <- bind_rows(all_data,p)
   }
}

proteins[1:7]
[1] "1433B" "1433E" "1433F" "1433G" "1433S" "1433T" "1433Z"

dplyr::bind_rows() failed to work due to incompatible types nevertheless 
rbind() went ahead without warnings.

Best wishes,


Jing Hua
