I've tried many things: read.csv("data.frame.txt", header=F, fill=T,stringsAsFactors=FALSE, sep="\t", colClasses="character") read.csv2("data.frame.txt", fill=T,stringsAsFactors=FALSE, sep="\t", as.is=T, colClasses="character")
also with read.delim/2 read.table("data.frame.txt", header=F, fill=T,stringsAsFactors=FALSE, sep="\t", colClasses="character") And a combination of various different options.
