Hi,

I am just starting using R. Hence, sorry for asking probably rather easy questions.

I used "read.table" to bring an .txt Table to R. Unfortunately the columns do not have the same length. I tried "fill=TRUE", to fill the blank space with "na". In a certain kind of way it worked, but befor filling the spaces it moved data from later columns to the first:

1    a   b   c                  1   a   b   c
2 a b c 2 a b c 3 a b c 3 a b c 4 b c 4 b c NA
5            c                       5   c   NA NA

What is my mistake?

Thank you
Sebastian
