Reads a data file and returns it as a list of dataset objects.
readDatasets(file, ..., header = TRUE, sep = ",", quote = "\"",
dec = ".", fill = TRUE, comment.char = "", fileEncoding = "UTF-8")A CSV file (see read.table).
Further arguments to be passed to coderead.table.
A logical value indicating whether the file contains the names of the variables as its first line.

by this character. If sep = "," (the default for readDatasets) the separator is a comma.
The set of quoting characters. To disable quoting altogether, use
quote = "". See scan for the behaviour on quotes embedded in quotes. Quoting is only
considered for columns read as character, which is all of them unless colClasses is specified.

Reads a file that was written by writeDatasets before.
