Hi,<div><br></div><div>you are on the wrong help-list. This list is meant for problems regarding the data.table package, which is just one R package:
<a href="http://datatable.r-forge.r-project.org/">http://datatable.r-forge.r-project.org/</a> </div><div><br></div><div>So where you actually want to post is the R help-list:
<a href="https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help">https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help</a> </div><div><br></div><div>Having said that, before you post your problem there I would play a little bit more with the read-functions in R. From your input, it looks as if you have a CSV-file in European format. So try read.csv2("file.csv") for a start. If that doesn't work, repost your problem to the R-help list and do provide as many information as possible (does any of your cells contain special characters? does any column contain a semicolon in the names? etc.)</div>

<br>
Here's my problem :<br>
<br>
I have a csv file which I have to read with read.table() function (or<br>
read.csv). The file has about 60000 lines whose data are written this way:<br>
character;character;character;character<br>
<br>
14/10/2010 13:10;0;49;0;49;<br>
<br>
14/10/2010 13:20;0;49;0;49;<br>
<br>
14/10/2010 13:30;0;49;0;49;<br>
<br>
14/10/2010 13:40;0;48;0;48;<br>
<br>
14/10/2010 13:50;0;46;0;46;<br>
<br>
<br>
I tried to use the function this way: read.csv("file.csv",sep =<br>
";",colClasses = "character", fill="TRUE",<a href="http://as.is" target="_blank">as.is</a>=TRUE,h=FALSE).<br>
<br>
Here's what I get as an error:<br>
Error in fill && length(col.names) > cols :<br>
type 'x' incorrect in 'x && y'<br>
<br>
I can't find any set of options with any of the read functions that work.<br>
<br>
Any ideas ?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
