Hi R! I am reading in a text file which has one column of alpha data and 5 columns of numeric data. There is a header row. I would like the alpha data column to just be character rather than factor. Is there a way to do this, please? I'm thinking that it might be I() but can't figure out exactly how. Thanks, Laura mailto: lauraholt_983 at hotmail.com R 2.0.1 Windows
