Hello, I looked in the R-help but could not find an archive addressing the following. I would like to convert a character to numeric after reading a file with RDS extension. After using as.numeric, I checked if it is numeric. It was not converted. Please help.
Here is my code >Report <- readRDS(file="RDS/Report.RDS") > Report[1:2,] dive_id date time species count size 2008-08-06 08:49:00 " 1" "08/06/2008" "8:49:00" "S.
