There are many ways.

Because the 'edgelist' format is supposed to contain numeric edge ids.
If you have symbolic edge ids, then read the file with read.table()
(or read.csv() for a CSV format), and create a graph from it with
graph.data.frame(). Or you can also use the 'ncol' format, which is
basically a symbolic edge list.

Best,
Gabor
