reading a column as a character vector
...tire list of codes...)
The first column is numeric, the second column is a character vector of
event codes. Ultimately, I want to to transform the second column into a
factor where each event code (such as 58905313R0EOL or 216918000R0DBL) is a
separate level.

reduce2<-read.table("reduce2.csv", sep=",",
colClasses=c("integer","factor"))
it does not know to break the event vectors into separate levels, the factor
it creates is wrong.
Perhaps there's something in R similar to split in Perl...
Thanks!
