[BioC] read.table doesn't read decimal places

[Stefan Kroeger]

Hello,

maybe anybody can give me a hint, how to read a csv/tsv file using
read.table, where the table contains columns with character and double
values, as in following example:

       V1      V2      V3
identifier      8.82427663558682        8.3543072605016 8.43568898178512

when I use:
> my_tab <- read.table(infile, header=TRUE, sep="\t",quote="")

numeric values are cut after 6th decimal place
identifier      8.824277     8.354307     8.435689

thanks in advance
 stefan
