[R] R input file scanning

[Liaw, Andy]

If the portion of the file that you want to read is "rectangular" (same
number of fields in all lines and same type of data in each column), you can
use either read.table() or scan() and supply the skip= argument to skip over
the headers you don't want to read in.

HTH,
Andy
