[R] Problem while reading .csv files

[Tony Plate]

You might get more useful answers if you gave more information about 
exactly what you did.  My wild guess is that you are sourcing a file (with 
the function source()), the first line of which is the QQQ<-..., and the 
second line of which has a syntax error.

One of the nice things about R is that you can cut and paste from script 
files in order to try to track down errors.  Did you try that with the 
QQQ<- line?  (It looks fine to me, and this works for me to read .csv files.)
