Just a tips: When you add headers to tabulate files like yours, it is
convenient to start each header line with a '#' (like an R comment),
because then read.table() will not complain about the header lines.
It is easy to strip the '#' off the header lines, i.e. grep("^#", "",
hlines) before further parsing.
You can also use the skip argument to read.table() to skip an arbitrary number of lines of header information. Sean
