Hi,

I'm trying to read in a bunch of CSV files into R where many columns are
coded like $111.11.  When reading them in they are treated as factors.

I'm wondering if there is an easy way to convert them into numeric in R
(as I don't want to modify the source data)?  I've done some searches
and can't seem to find an easy way to do this.

I apologise if this is a trivial question, I haven't been using R for a
while.

Many thanks in advance!

Cheers

Kev
