R help - Jan 2014 - Assigning a factor to a data frame

I created an an empty data frame this way:

forsentest<-data.frame(matrix(nrow=nod,ncol=f)).

Then I tried to assign one row of another data frame forsen to it

forsentest[1,]<-forsen[1,]

But the factors in forsen gets converted to numbers in forsentest which is
not what I want.

Is there another way around it ?

Hi,
Try:
Either:
?forsentest[1,] <- unlist(forsen[1,])
#or


forsen[] <- lapply(forsen,as.character)
forsentest[1,] <- forsen[1,]
A.K.
