Dear all
the question is:
the data is not same length for each variable(the column length unequal), how can R read this data? I tried read.table(filename,na.strings),not work.

See ?read.table.


read.table() will work if there are seperators beween missing values (you have to specify 'sep' in that case!).
If the number of separators is unequal for some lines, the argument 'fill' might help. If not, consider to use scan() or readLines() and postprocess the imported stuff.
