Thanks a lot Rui and Arun.
The methods work fine with the data I gave but when I tried the two methods
with the following semi-colon separated data using sep = ";". Only the first
3 columnns are read properly rest of the columns are either empty or NAs.

I used the following code:
dat1<-read.table("testInput.txt",sep=";",skip=3,fill=TRUE,header=TRUE)
dat1<-dat1[-1,]
row.names(dat1)<-1:nrow(dat1)
Could you please let me know what is wrong with this approach?
Thank you.
Ravi
