Thanks Jim, I've tried that but still no luck. Some other suggestions? Thanks again Marc

Hi all,
I am just starting with R and I have come across a problem which I guess
it is easy to solve. I am reading a table with read.table function.
This table contains chars which seem to be problematic when reading them
such as "'" and "#", if I remove these characters fromt the table by
hand the problem disappears. Otherwise, the whole table is not read,
since reading stops at the problematic tuple.
I have been looking in the ?read.table manual but have not found
anything. Is there any option to make R not interpret these characters?
Hi Marc, Try changing the "quote" argument to "\"" and the comment.char argument to "". Jim .
