I think this has been answered already.

I am not aware of an option to read.table and freinds that does this
but you can recover easily:

> foo <- read.delim('foo.tbl')
> foo
  A          B
1 1     12,300
2 2 256,001.01
3 3      900.1
4 4         80
> str(foo)
'data.frame':   4 obs. of  2 variables:
 $ A: int  1 2 3 4
 $ B: Factor w/ 4 levels "12,300","256,001.01",..: 1 2 4 3
> foo$B <- as.numeric(sub(',', '', as.character(foo$B)))
> foo
  A        B
1 1  12300.0
2 2 256001.0
3 3    900.1
4 4     80.0
> str(foo)
'data.frame':   4 obs. of  2 variables:
 $ A: int  1 2 3 4
 $ B: num  12300 256001 900 80
