Error while reading csv file in R

Question

I am having some problems in reading a csv file with R.

 x=read.csv(\"LorenzoFerrone.csv\",header=T)

Error in make.names(col.names, unique = TRUE) : 
      inva         


        

Answer 1

This will read the column names as-is and won't return any errors:

x = read.csv(check.names = F)

To remove/replace troublesome characters in column names, use this:

iconv(names(x), to = "ASCII", sub = "")
