[R] problem with summary of data

[Nel N.]

Looks like I've missed out the 'as.is' argument, I put it in and everything
was alright! Thank you so much!
In addition,there're a few .rda files that I've got that I would like to
view as file perse. How do I open it because when I tried opening it with
Notepad, it came out as unrecognised symbols.
Thanx again.
