Dear all, I'd like to ask help on R code to get the same results as the following Splus code:
indata<-importData("/home/data_new.csv")
indata[1:5,4]
[1] 0930 1601 1006 1032 1020 I tried the following R code:
indata<-read.csv("/home/data_new.csv")
Do you get what you desire with setting as.is=TRUE?
indata<-read.csv("/home/data_new.csv", as.is=TRUE )
Also see the colClasses arguments in read.xxx functions.
indata[1:5,4]
[1] 930 1601 1006 1032 1020 I'd like the first one to be 0930, too.
So you want the strings (aka "character" vectors) to stay strings.
