Accessing single element of data.frame

Hi I am new to R.
I am having this problem
t1 <- read.csv("myfile.csv")
t2 <- data.frame(t1)
which have 10 row and 10 columns
t2[1,1] does not give the first element but it gives the levels, how  
can I
fix it.

It gives you both. Factors are generally printed with the value and  
then the vector of possible values. By the way the use of data.frame  
would be redundant. The object returned by read.csv would already be a  
dataframe.

?read.csv
?data.frame
