[R] Error when naming rows of dataset

[yongchuan]

I'm pretty new with R, so the only error message I see is
the below that I pasted. I'm attaching the first few rows
of the file for reference. The layout looks screwy when I
attach it here but 'Start' to 'closingCoupon' is the first
row in the .txt file. Thx!

	Start	Stop	PrepayDate	modBalance	closingCoupon
1.1	6	7	0	811.2769	8.35
1.2	7	8	0	811.2769	8.35
1.3	8	9	1	811.2769	8.35
2.1	4	5	0	2226.0825	8.7
2.2	5	6	0	2226.0825	8.7
2.3	6	7	0	2226.0825	8.7
2.4	7	8	0	2226.0825	8.7
2.5	8	9	0	2226.0825	8.7
2.6	9	10	0	2226.0825	8.7
2.7	10	11	0	2226.0825	8.7
2.8	11	12	0	2226.0825	8.7
2.9	12	13	0	2226.0825	8.7
2.1	13	14	0	2226.0825	8.7
