[R] preferred x-delimited data format for R?

[Liviu Andronic]

Dear all
What is the preferred spreadsheet-like x-delimited data format for use
with R? Should I prefer tab-, comma-, space- or
some_other_delimitor-seprated data?

I'm asking this because I've been once bitten by CSV data containing `
' ' (apostrophe) symbols that R couldn't easily digest. Probably no
the best approach, I've eventually inspected the document and removed
the apostrophes manually. But I'd rather avoid such issues in the
future.

Regards
Liviu
