title: Error in read.table with colClasses
body: <p>I would read a text file (using read.table) which contains a column among three with characters like "000000" but I get 0 instead. I try with:  </p>
  
  <pre><code>X&lt;-read.table(ouvrefic, header=TRUE, row.names=1, sep="",colClasses=c("integer","character","factor"))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings,  : 
  scan() expected 'an integer', got '"1"' (problem comes from row.names, I suppose)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I do that?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot.</p>
  
  <p>Beginning of my text file: </p>
  
  <pre><code>"" "dates" "Atscan2" "pqrPQR"
