Hello,

I have a data set, with some numerical values, some non-numerical data, my
issue is that I need to preserve my ID numbers (numerics) with the leading
zeros, but when I import the data into R (it's in .csv format) using the
read.csv(" ") command, it turns all the ID numbers (Example: 00210) into
numbers, removing the leading zeros, so I end up with 210. I tried using the
"as.is=" command on the column that I wanted to treat as text, but it had no
effect.

Any help would be very much appreciated,

Thanks,

James
