R: Import CSV with column names that contain spaces

Question

CSV file looks like this (modified for brevity). Several columns have spaces in their title and R can\'t seem to distinguish them.

Alias;Type;SerialNo;DateTime;Ma         


        

Answer 1

I believe spaces get replaced by dots "." when importing CSV files. So you'd write e.g. Main.status. You can check by entering names(s_data) to see what the names are.
