Does your res.dat only have one row and you want this to one variable? For read.table each new case has to start on a new line.
If your data are in a "just one row for a variable" format,
res <- scan("C:/Documents and Settings/db/Desktop/res.dat")
will probably do what you want.

My suspision is something is wrong in the way the data was read (with V1, V2, V3 etc).
