Re: [R] reading text file not table
'count.fields' is often useful in such situations to see how R's view of the file differs from your own. (It isn't such a rare occurrence for differences to happen when the file comes from Excel.) If I understand properly, you can use sep='\n' as part of your alternative plan. But I don't think you would need to write a file and read it back in again.

Re: [R] reading text file not table
I think he is missing fill=TRUE, which is the default for read.csv but not read.table. (As Ted Harding implied but as I recall did not spell out.) If you want to read a file as text, used readLines. You can then extract the lines you want and use read.table on a textConnection from just those lines.
