Thanks a huge bunch John, David, Steve, Hadley and Erik!

I don't know how acceptable it is to mass thank everyone :), but seemed like a good idea as everyone was in on the thread and here's how it worked:

Unmatched quotes was probably correct.
When exporting from excel, it did warn me that there were things incompatible with .txt, which could cause problems with the file, and I think that is what happened with trying to read in the .txt version.

The csv versions didn't run for the broken down smaller files but when I tried it with "Everything.csv" (430 columns), it worked.

names(vc) gave me:
[1] "id"          "family"      "P1L55"       "P1L73"       "P1L74"
[6] "P1L77" "P1L91" "P1L96" "P1L98" "P1L100" ...........

(...sep=",".. ) also worked, and I just finished running a loop over 430 columns for an hierarchical model. Woooo...

I would like to find out why attach() is advised against,
and thanks again for a list of useful commands that I can explore in the future.

Cheers! :)
