can anyone tell me how to import a text file in R? the text file I want to

I tried using the following

Hi dhanush,
If the problem is with read.table, maybe:
# "whatlist" is a list of data types defining what
# is in each line of data - see the help page
data<-scan("file",skip=1,sep="\t",what=whatlist)
will get it in for you.
