The file is imported from an external source and for some reason there are two header rows each with a set of names for the columns. It would get refreshed from time to time amd I don't want to have to remember to remove one of them by hand (its a huge file and its not easy to get it into an editor) each time before R processing. But the skip option suggested by the other posters did the job - thanks to all (and it turns out the second set of names is more English-like anyways). > ______________________________________________ > r-h...@r-project.org mailing listhttps://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guidehttp://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
