Check the manual about loading data:

http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-data.html

If you're still having trouble, read the posting guide:

http://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html

Follow its advice about reproducibility.

Also, this question should have been directed to R-Help, not R-devel
