[Qgis-user] problem reading csv file (numbers read as strings)

True. A couple if lines would be helpful. Generally QGIS 2.0 is fairly good at guessing, so it would be interesting to see what's confusing it. 

Have you got the put apostrophes around text turned on?

If all else fails you can force QGIS to do what you want. http://anitagraser.com/2011/03/07/how-to-specify-data-types-of-csv-columns-for-use-in-qgis/
