Details:

With the attached csv files. 

For dataframe with all characters


'name','mask','weapon'
'Leonardo','blue','ninjatos'
'Donatello','purple','bo'
'Michelangelo','orange','nunchaku'
'Raphael','red','sai'



pkg load dataframe
dataframe('dataframe.csv')

ans = dataframe with 3 rows and 3 columns
Src: dataframe.csv                       
_1         name   mask   weapon          
Nr         char   char     char          
 1    Donatello purple       bo          
 2 Michelangelo orange nunchaku          
 3      Raphael    red      sai          


The second line is ignored. For a csv file with similar content but a numeric
column,


'name','num','weapon'
'Leonardo',12,'ninjatos'
'Donatello',34,'bo'
'Michelangelo',56,'nunchaku'
'Raphael',78,'sai'


loading it yields 4 rows correctly

dataframe('dataframe_with_number.csv')
ans = dataframe with 4 rows and 3 columns
Src: dataframe_with_number.csv           
_1         name    num   weapon          
Nr         char double     char          
 1     Leonardo     12 ninjatos          
 2    Donatello     34       bo          
 3 Michelangelo     56 nunchaku          
 4      Raphael     78      sai
