Dear  List, 
   
  I have 30 data files with different numbers of lines (31 and 33) that I want 
to skip before reading the files. If I use the skip option I can only choose 
either to skip 31 or 33 lines. The data files with 31 lines have no blank rows 
between the lines and the header row. How can I read the files without manually 
checking which files have 31 respectively 33 lines ?  The only text line I want 
to keep is the header.
   
  Thamks for your help,
  Tom
   
   
  for (i in 1:num.files) {
   a<-read.table(file=data[i],
  ,header=T,skip=31,sep='\t',na.strings="NA") 
  
  }
