I am new to R and reading 19 variables (Import_1 to Import_19) from a CSV file          x <- (as.data.frame(final_data[,c(15:33)]))
When I summarized one variable I got following display (possibly character variable)
Import_1  
 EXTREMELY IMPORTANT-10:177  
 09                    :176  
 08                    : 89  
 07                    : 45  
 06                    : 15  
 05                    :  6  
 04                    :  3
 03                    :  3
 02                    :  3
 NOT AT ALL IMPORTANT-01 : 2 
Now I need to convert these 19 variables into numeric 1-10 values, so that I can do regression. Let me know how can I do that.
