[R] read.table missing values

[MMcIntosh@kvpharmaceutical.com]

I have experienced a similar problem when saving Excel data in this
format.  When any of the variables, except the last, contained missing
values, there was not a problem.  However, the problem occurred when the
last variable contained missing values.  My guess is that the last
delimiter was left off?  The "fill" option worked in my case.  Use the
option with care and double check the dataset.

might be, but I have already found another solution: 
reat.table(file,sep="\t")

Thanks,
