Specifying colClasses in the read.csv

Question

I am trying to specify the colClasses options in the read.csv function in R. In my data, the first column \"time\" is basically a character vector

Answer 1

If we combine what @Hendy and @Oddysseus Ithaca contributed, we get cleaner and a more general (i.e., adaptable?) chunk of code.

    data <- read.csv("test.csv", head = F, colClasses = c(V36 = "character", V38 = "character"))
