Dear R experts---I would like to write a replacement for the read.csv
function that is less general, but also more efficient.
could someone please provide me with a skeleton function that shows me
how to read the arguments and return a data frame for a call to a C
function that handles
returned.data.frame = my.read.csv(file, header = TRUE, sep = ",",
quote="\"", dec=".",
fill = TRUE, comment.char="", ...)
this may be very difficult, of course, in which case writing such a
function would not be worth it. I guess I would be happy just to
learn how to return a basic data frame that holds data vectors that
are either strings or numbers---nothing more complex.
help appreciated.
