I am using read.table and keep on getting this message.
The function is confusing my first column with a row.names column. I have
checked the table carefully using excel and it seems quite symetric and
with a name at the top of each column.
This is what I am using:
form1 = read.table("c:/horses/form.tbl", sep="\t", header = T)
and this is the top few rows of the table:
fields.result fields.age fields.sex fields.barrier horse.winnings
horse.form.ran horse.form.win horse.form.place
horse.form.at.this.track.ran horse.form.at.this.track.win
horse.form.at.this.track.place horse.form.at.this.distance.ran
horse.form.at.this.distance.win horse.form.at.this.distance.place
horse.form.with.this.jockey.ran horse.form.with.this.jockey.win
horse.form.with.this.jockey.place horse.form.with.this.going.ran
horse.form.with.this.going.win horse.form.with.this.going.place
rider.rides.last.3 rider.places.last.3 trainer.rides.last.3
trainer.places.last.3

Can anyone suggest whats wrong or a workaround.
Thanks
