I downloaded a text file which has several lines of text before the
header line of the data, similar to this:
---start---
"Corn December 2012 (CZ2012)"

09-Jun-2009,0,476.75,469.5,476.75,0,0,
...
After I download the file using R, how do I remove the lines of text
that appear before the header line (Date, Open, ...)?
