[R] Ignore text when reading data

[beyar]

Hi,
I have tab delimited text files containing numerical data,
like below, but many more columns.

As you can see, the first few lines are heading and file data.  I need to
skip these lines.  2 lines above where the numbers start is what I want to
use as my header rows.  I then want to ignore the next line (containing
units) and start importing data.  

The header row repeats.  i want to ignore the blank rows and text in the
data and then continue reading.  Is there an easy way to do this?  

thanks
Beyar
