[R] Problem reading in table with extra spaces

I wrote with C and created a file that I can read into S+, but R chokes
because I've got multiple spaces between some variables and there is a
space at the start of each data line.  This happens becuase C was
right-justifying the numbers as it printed them out.  It looks like
this:

T Run Seed IntAct Change f0 f0T0 f0T1 f0T2 average0 variance0
relentropy0 f1 f1T0 f1T1 f1T2 average1 variance1 relentropy1 f2 f2T0
f2T1 f2T2 average2 variance2 relentropy2 f3 f3T0 f3T1 f3T2 average3
variance3 relentropy3 f4 f4T0 f4T1 f4T2 average4 variance4 relentropy4

0.989945 0.706440 0.435000 0.579580 0.356000 

Can you tell me what to do?  Perhaps I need tips on formatting output
from C as well, but I would really really like to just read in this data
without running the models over again.
