You are asked to follow the posting guide and to provide "commented, 
minimal, self-contained, reproducible code".

It is hard to guess what you actually did and to provide advice if you do 
not do this.

The best I can suggest is that you review

 	2.1 Variations on read.table

in

 	R Data Import/Export

and be sure to attend to the sections on quoting and commments, which 
issues often give rise to problems such as you allude to.

HTH,

Chuck
