Dear R list, I have a dataset with a column which should be read as character, like this:
name surname answer 1 xx yyy "00100" 2 rrr hhh "01" When reading this dataset with read.table, I get 1 xx yyy 100 2 rrr hhh 1 The string column consists in answers to multiple choice questions, not all having the same number of answers. I could format the answers using formatC but there are over a hundred different questions in there. I tried with quote="\"'" without any luck. Googling after this take me nowhere either. It should be simple but I seem to miss it... Can anybody point me to the right direction? TIA, Adrian ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
