I have a matrix that looks like this:


structure(c("0.0376673981759913", "0.111066500741386", "1", "1103", 
"18", "OPEN", "DEPR", "0.0404073656092023", "0.115186044704599", 
"1", "719", "18", "OPEN", "DEPR", "0.0665342096693433", "0.197570061769498", 
"1", "1103", "18", "OPEN", "DEPR", "0.119287147905722", "0.356427096010845", 
"1", "1103", "18", "OPEN", "DEPR"), .Dim = c(7L, 4L), .Dimnames = list(
    c("Sn", "SlnC", "housenum", "date", "hour", "flue", "pressurization"
    ), c("10019.BLO", "1002.BLO", "10020.BLO", "10021.BLO")))

 

How do I convert rows 1-5 to numeric?  I tried mode() <- "numeric" but that doesn't change anything.

 

I also tried converting this to a table then converting to numeric, but I got: (list) object cannot be coerced to type 'double'
