I have tried I() function, but it is just functional >in data.frame. You can't. An array is just a vector with a dimension attribute, and vectors have to be all one type. Since in general you can't coerce text to numbers, R coerces the numbers to text. You probably want a data.frame if you have mixed types, or if that doesn't have enough dimensions for you, then build things out of lists (which is how data.frames are constructed).
