I have some problems with read.table and floats turning up as
factors. In my case it was not a blank in the file but an unary minus!!
so 3.24,-57.23,... the 3.24 is numeric but -57.23 is a factor.
Yes I turned it into a numeric with as.numeric(as.character(.. but I
think it will be better to modify somehow the read.table/read.csv
code.
Thanks anyway.
