Thanks for the advice, df<-read.table(infile, sep="," skip = 1, header=TRUE) is indeed much cleaner from the outset (and was my usual way to it). I was unaware that readLines(infile, n=1) could get me the first line without reading the whole file again. But I do need to get my head around these levels...
