Hi,
Try this:
dat1<-read.table(text="
?2.5? 3.6? 7.1? 7.9
?100? 3????? 4????? 2??? 3
?200? 3.1? 4????? 3????? 3
?300? 2.2? 3.3? 2??? 4
?",sep="",header=TRUE)
#Either
colnames(dat1)<-c("2.5","3.6","7.1","7.9")
#or
colnames(dat1)<-c(2.5,3.6,7.1,7.9)
#produce character column names
?is.character(colnames(dat1))
[1] TRUE
?is.numeric(colnames(dat1))
[1] FALSE
dat1
??? 2.5 3.6 7.1 7.9
100 3.0 4.0?? 2?? 3
200 3.1 4.0?? 3?? 3
300 2.2 3.3?? 2?? 4

Subject: [R] read.table with numeric row names
I have a text file like this
? ? ? ? 2.5? 3.6? 7.1? 7.9
100? 3? ? ? 4? ? ? 2? ? 3
200? 3.1? 4? ? ? 3? ? ? 3
300? 2.2? 3.3? 2? ? 4
I used "r <- read.table("a.txt", header=T)"
The row names becomes X2.5, X3.6... What I need is the row names are
numeric, so I can use the row names as numbers on x-axis for plotting. e.g.
"plot(colMeans(r)~names(r))", something like this. How to do this?
Thanks.
