I an just a novice to R. Trying to import a .csv file, I get the below result

     X.Bin1.Bin2.Bin3
1      Scan1;10;20;30
2      Scan2;60;50;40
3      Scan3;70;80;90

Can not find any explanation what does X. symbol mean and how it is treated by R. BR Vladimir

  • It looks like you don't really have a CSV file because CSV files are by definition separated by commas and your data seems to have semicolons between values. Use `sep=";"` with `read.table()` to properly import your data. But it's likely that i'll still have an x for the first column for the reason described in the question link above. – MrFlick Nov 21 '17 at 15:14

You can try and use colnames() or rownames. X. is the default name of column names usually ,used by R, when a dataframe is generated.

You can also use row.names = FALSE or col.names or col.names = FALSE when you import the data. It isn't clear if rows or columns are the ones with the X.
