Read in lines using readLines, delete all T and G characters
and reread using read.table:
Lines.raw <- "T 3 0 -- -- -- T -- -- -- 18.98
3 1 6.75 4.39 39 -- -- -- 18.58
3 2 6.90 4.90 43 -- -- -- 18.63
3 3 7.07 5.39 48 -- -- -- 18.78
G 4 0 7.41 5.54 47 G -- -- -- 18.90
4 1 7.44 5.99 30 10.93 5.30 23 18.95
4 2 7.27 6.05 23 11.16 5.74 19 18.96
4 3 7.27 5.54 27 11.58 5.95 18 18.97
"
# in reality next line would be Lines <- readLines("myfile.dat")
Lines <- readLines(textConnection(Lines.raw))
DF <- read.table(textConnection(gsub("[TG]", "", Lines)), na.strings = "--")
