R help - Apr 2005 - how can get rid of the level in the table

hello,
1. when i get a column data from a table, it always follows with the level. 
for exmaple if i have a table = (v1, v2), and table$v1 = (1, 2, 3); and col1
<- table$v1;
then there is level assign to the table, with 1 is level1 and 2 is level2 3 is
level3 ect.
however, when are want to get col1[3], which is 3, by when i add the col1[3] to
a list, the is actually appears as 33 instead of because the level for 3 is 3.
In fact, the data i want is 3 not 33, so i don't want any levels come with
the data each time when read from the column in the table. how can i do that?
 
2. how can i read from a file from a specific folder, and how i create a folder
and write a file to that folder?
 
 
Thank you very much.

   By table you mean table or data frame?

   so v1 is a factor or not?

   if v1 is a factor as.numeric(as.character(v1)) will make it numeric

   what file?

   see  read.*,  write.*,  source,  sink,  RODBC  and other possible file
   manipulation functions.
