Doubtful. The OP did have spaces in his header. but by specifying that
only tabs should be used as delimiters the default parameters to both
read.table and read.csv would have converted the spaces to periods.
See:
read.table(file="http://www.nabble.com/file/p24777697/small.txt";,
sep="\t",
Hi Hannes,
>From my experience, this error usually happens when you've got spaces in the
header row, in the column names.
An easy solution would be to open the file in excel, then run
search-and-replace on the header row for all spaces and replace them with a
hyphen "-".
Hope it helped (please let
You can also try:
readLines(...)
This seems to be able to read in difficult txt files.
Good luck.

What do you get with:
count.fields(c:/small.txt', sep='\t', header=TRUE)

Then you have not followed the very simple instructions I gave you above,
which I repeat below. Or you have changed small.txt.
##
TDat <- read.csv("small.txt", sep="\t")
TDat
str(TDat)

And I meant to add, but somehow forgot, that the default for read.csv is
header=TRUE (which is different from read.table, where it is FALSE).

Hi David,

No! The argument header= is not required in this case.

Seems to read in fine; what errors were you getting?

I think he may also need to add the header=TRUE argument:
tdat <- read.csv("http://www.nabble.com/file/p24777697/small.txt";,
header=TRUE, sep="\t")
Note: read.table with those arguments should have worked as well.
And then use names(tdat) <- c()
Perhaps along these lines:
tdnames <- names(

You want the following:
##
TDat <- read.csv("small.txt", sep="\t")
TDat
str(TDat)
See ?read.csv
