You need to split this problem in sections, the first of which is
getting your data into R. A very useful function to look at files is
count.fields(). See what it produces with your file and also read:
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-data.html
... If you have missing data elements at the ends of input lines then
perhaps fill=TRUE will be helpful.

Solve the input problem first then table() or xtabs() as approapriate.
