R help - May 2005 - load data with scientific notations

Hi,

I have a data file whose values are scientific notations, for example:

9.1642537e+003, 6.7195295e+003, 4.8834487e+003, 3.7181589e+003, ...

How to load such data into R?

Thanks,

-Luke

Just read them like any other numbers; e.g.:
> x <- scan(sep=",")
1: 9.1642537e+003, 6.7195295e+003, 4.8834487e+003, 3.7181589e+003
5: [hit ctrl-d]

> x
[1] 9164.254 6719.529 4883.449 3718.159
