[R] Read.table question

[Markus Haag]

Hi list members,

i've just started using R. i've just experimented with the functions
of R. Now I want to import data from an Excel spreadsheet (saved as
csv) in the following format

Date       AAA    AA     A
1.12002    20.5%  12%    3%
.
.
.

i used the following command: a <- read.scv2("file.csv", sep=";")
so the import worked fine.
the problem is that everything is stored in the variable a
now i want to extract each series (Date, AAA, AA) and store them into
their own variable. e.g. the values in the AAA column should be stored
into AAA
any ideas on how this shoul be done?
thanks in advance

cheers,

Markus
