Hi,
I am not sure about the problem.
If your non-numeric vector is like:
a,b,,d,e,,f
vec1<-unlist(str_split(readLines(textConnection("a,b,,d,e,,f")),","))
vec1[vec1==""]<- NA
vec1
#[1] "a" "b" NA "d" "e" NA "f"
If this doesn't work, please provide an example vector.
A.K.

cells with <NA>, however, the problem remains that the vector is
not >numeric. This was the reason I wanted to replace the empty cells
with NAs in the first place. Forcing the vector with as.numeric
afterwards doesn't >seem to work either, I get nonsensical results.
