R help - Feb 2012 - import .csv file into R

Dear r-helpers,

I read  a .csv file into R

with the following command:

A<-read.csv2(file="Mappe3.csv")

It worked fine, except that I would like to get rid of the points between
the words and get spaces instead like I have got in the .csv file.

At the moment it looks like the following:

habe.mich.gut.mit.KlassenkollegInnen.verstanden
hatte.gutes.Verhältnis.zu.Eltern
fühlte.mich.von.LehrerInnen.respektiert
1                                              88
         86                                      74
  fühlte.mich.von.LehrerInnen.ausreichend.gefördert
Eltern.konnten.mir.beim.Lernen.helfen
1                                                62
                41


So far I couldn't find out how to do this. Could anyone help me with this?


Many Thanks in advance!

check.names=FALSE

but it's discouraged because it will make it hard to refer to column
names inside R.

Try

gsub('\\.', ' ', A)

(And see ?regexpr and ?gsub)
