   The separator in these files is the comma, not the semicolon.
Try

train = read.csv('trainingset.txt',check.names=FALSE)
test = read.csv('testset.txt',check.names=FALSE)

Hi all,Thanks for your reply. Sorry I did not send sufficient information about my problem…I attach the two datasets that I’m 
trying to read and these are my attempts to read them:1)#train <- read.table("trainingset.txt", header=TRUE, 
sep=";" ,fill=TRUE) #test <- read.table("testset.txt", header=TRUE, sep=";" , fill=TRUE)its 
error message is:
“ undefined columns selected”2)train <- scan("trainingset.txt",  sep=";" ,fill=TRUE) test <- 
scan("testset.txt", sep=";" , fill=TRUE)

its error message is:
“  'names' attribute [172] must be the same length as the vector [152]”

many thanks,
Nancy
