I'm using read.csv to read in a csv file containing '#' characters. For
example, say I'm reading the following file (test.csv):
var1,var2,var3
a,b,c
d,e#,f
g,h,i
It outputs:
> read.csv("Raw Data\\test.csv")
var1 var2 var3
1 a b c
2 d e
3 g h i
Warning message:
incomplete final line found by readTableHeader on 'Raw Data\test.csv'
read.csv appears to be treating '#' as a comment even in input data. Is there a
way to turn this interpretation off?
Thanks,
Mike
