Thanks!
Another question also related to the same type of files:
How can I transform it into a time series
as.ts()
I also endup having the same problem, the dates are transformed into a
list of numbers
My file looks like this
dates val
1 2001-01-12 1.2
2 2001-02-12 1.2
2 2001-03-12 1.2
(...)
class: data.frame
