Hi,

I have a simple question about importing data, I would be very grateful if
you could help me out.

I have used read.csv(file name, header=T, sep=",") to bring in a csv file I
saved in MS Excel.The problem is I have white spaces in the middle of values
(not in the column names), and this messes up the column entries. Since I
have many many files that I am importing and I have spaces in all of them, I
was looking for a way to avoid going into all of them and changing the white
spaec to, for example, an underscore.
Can you suggest whether there is a way to tell R that each element delimited
by "," is actually a different entry, regardless of whether there are white
spaces in between?

Thank you so much for the help!
