Unfortunately, some data I need to work with was delivered in a rather messy 
Excel file.  I want to import into R and clean up some things so that I can do 
my analysis.  Pulling in a CSV from Excel is the easy part.

My current challenge is dealing with some text mixed in the values.  
i.e.   118   5.7   <2.0  3.7 

Since this column in Excel has a "<2.0" value, then R reads the column as a 
factor with levels.  Ideally, I want to convert it a normal vector of scalars 
and code code the "<2.0" as 0.  

Can anyone suggest an easy way to do this?

Thanks!
