I am reading a list of numbers from my clipboard, and have been successful, except I can't make a histogram as R doesn't recognize my variable as numeric. I know I need to use "as.is", but the specifics escape me.
I have used x<-read.table("clipboard", header=F) to import from a txt
In normal circumstances, your example works, but sometimes you need special options, e.g sep="\t" if you have missing values or dec="," in countries with comma as decimal delimiter. Another possibility is, that read.table has converted your data into factors, then convert them back, via:
x$V1 <- as.numeric(as.character(x$V1))
etc...
For more options please read the R Data Import/Export manual.
