Load a CSV file to matrix object.

1 2	loadCSVtoP2distance(path, header=TRUE, sep="\t", dec=".", quote="\"", na.strings="NA", fileEncoding = "", encoding = "unknown")

`path`	the path of the file which the data are to be read from. Each row of the table appears as one line of the file.
`header`	a logical value indicating whether the file contains the names of the variables as its first line. If missing, the value is determined from the file format: header is set to TRUE if and only if the first row contains one fewer field than the number of columns.
`sep`	the field separator character. Values on each line of the file are separated by this character.
`dec`	the character used in the file for decimal points.
`quote`	the set of quoting characters. To disable quoting altogether, use quote = "".
`na.strings`	a character vector of strings which are to be interpreted as NA values. Blank fields are also considered to be missing values in logical, integer, numeric and complex fields.
`fileEncoding`	character string: if non-empty declares the encoding used on a file (not a connection) so the character data can be re-encoded. See the 'Encoding' section of the help for file, the 'R Data Import/Export Manual' and 'Note'.
`encoding`	encoding to be assumed for input strings. It is used to mark character strings as known to be in Latin-1 or UTF-8 (see Encoding): it is not used to re-encode the input, but allows R to handle encoded strings in their native encoding (if one of those two).

This function return a matrix object ready for p2distance function. It read a text file and it use the first column to give a row name. It uses the read.table function to read the file.
