Another possibility for .rpt files from file-extensions.org: "The rpt file extension is frequently used for various reports - output files of programs, often used for further analyze. Probably the most common type of RPT format is the one exported by Crystal Reports.
Crystal Reports is a business intelligence program for generating reports from a wide range of data sources. Many applications (including Microsoft Visual Studio) bundled Crystal Reports as a general tool for reporting. Other programs might also use rpt file extension for their reports, but it is mostly not always Crystal Reports format, unless the program is using the same reporting engine."

Which I would guess indicates that this is some sort of file which was originally physically printed to be read by a human. So I would _guess_ that perhaps it is column oriented and might be readable using read.fwf() .Or course, it if really is a "report" there are those irritating page headers & footers, perhaps along with a summary at the end which would need to be ignored.
