Hi all, I've a data base in txt file, which contains approximately  1.5 million 
observations and 18 variables. The aspect of two of the observationsis the 
following: 345~X~99~30/10/1950~89000~784~ERVY LE CHATEL, 
RUE~9~AUXERRE~08500~410005~VISITE MEDICALE~20/03/1998~20~UROLOGIE~9~VISITES~5~ 
67895~J~102~28/05/1967~89000~359~CHATILLON SUR SEIENE, 
RUE~10~AUXERRE~08340~560025~ASSURANCE-CRÉDIT~15/09/1997~25~UROLOGIE~1~VISITES~5~
 So, as you can see, the columns are separated by "~" symbol, but there is also 
other symbols: ",", "-", written accents, ...  inside some descriptive 
variables. I execute: data <- fread('data.txt',autostart=60) The R gives an 
error message in one row Error en fread("data.txt", autostart = 60) :   
Expected sep (',') but '' ends field 1 on line 1 when detecting types: Please, 
anyone can help me?
