Reading files with varying number of columns

Tim Clark 
Dear R list,
I am trying to read files with a varying number of columns and can't figure out 
how to get them in the proper format.? Some rows have five value and some have 
seven.? Is there a way to read them in so that two empty columns are added to 
every row that has only five values?? An example of the data follows.? Thanks!? 
Tim
