What do
table( count.fields( file ) )
and
table( count.fields( file, sep='\t' ) )
tell you?
If the former gives the right number of fields, then you have white space
without tabs separating the data elements.
If they both tell you that you have only one filed in each line, your
lines quoted, perhaps.
Otherwise, can you "provide commented, minimal, self-contained,
reproducible code" as requested below to demonstrate this behavior??
