[R] "all rows must have the same length" error while using read.table

[hzi]

Hi-

    I tried to read the table bellow (table goes on with 54 rows) with 
the read.table

      

> AGE    MONTH    SEX    HEADLEN    HEADWTH    NECK    LENGTH    CHEST 
>    WEIGHT
> 19            7                1            11.0                5.5    
>             16.0            53.0            26.0            80

   > set3 <- read.table("/dos/mydocu~1/conjun~1.txt", header=T, 
sep="\t", row.names=1)

R (1.2.2 under Linux) produced the following error message:

   Error in  read.table("/dos/mydocu~1/conjun~1.txt", header=T, sep="\t", :
       all rows must have the same length.
  
What "length" is the error message referring to? The names of the variables?
Thanks in advance.


Regards,

   Henry
