Subject: Reading # in file with read.csv

Never mind on my previous question below.  read.csv("Raw
Data\\test.csv",comment.char="") does it.

Mike


I'm using read.csv to read in a csv file containing '#' characters.  For
example, say I'm reading the following file (test.csv):

var1,var2,var3
a,b,c
d,e#,f
g,h,i

It outputs:

> read.csv("Raw Data\\test.csv")
  var1 var2 var3
1    a    b    c
2    d    e
3    g    h    i
Warning message:
incomplete final line found by readTableHeader on 'Raw Data\test.csv'

read.csv appears to be treating '#' as a comment even in input data.  Is there a
way to turn this interpretation off?

Thanks,

Mike
