[R] Comments in read.table

[LAM]

I know it is possible to use the character "#" to comment lines in
script files.

Is it possible to give an argument (just like skip) to the fuction
read.table to avoid reading commented lines in data files.

I want to use this function to read a table in a data file like this
#-------------------------------
x y z
#my data begin here
1 2 3
12 3 4
1 0 1
# no comment !!!
2 3 5
#--------------------------------

Thanks in advance.
