Hey All

I am trying to read in a small text file using read.table. 

dput(sim)
structure(list(ï...X. = 1:7, Y1 = c(2.5501, 4.105, 5.4687, 7.0009, 
8.5066, 9.785, 11.5167), Y2 = c(2.5501, 4.105, 5.4687, 11.0009, 
8.5066, 9.785, 11.5167), Y3 = c(2.5501, 4.105, 5.4687, 7.0009, 
8.5066, 9.785, 15.5167)), .Names = c("ï...X.", "Y1", "Y2", "Y3"
), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -7L))

But for some reason my first header comes as "?...X. ", instead of just 
"X". Can some one please tell me why? And how to fix it?

This is what I did in my code, using R-studio
> sim<-read.table("C:/00Pavneet/# MSc/# temp/sim data 1.txt",header=T)
> View(sim)
