I can't reproduce that on my system. When I try it it works. (In reality you would replace textConnection(Lines) with the name of your file.)
Lines <- "
+ 6.5500000000000000e+004 2.8235000000000001e+000 3.2000000000000000e+001 + 1.1580000000000000e+003 2.4400000000000000e+002 5.9800000000000000e+002 + 2.2700000000000000e+002 3.9030000000000001e+001 -1.2137000000000000e+002"
read.table(textConnection(Lines))

Hi, Sorry I have to bother you a question.
I have a file with each line like this:
6.5500000000000000e+004 2.8235000000000001e+000 3.2000000000000000e+001
1.1580000000000000e+003 2.4400000000000000e+002 5.9800000000000000e+002
2.2700000000000000e+002 3.9030000000000001e+001 -1.2137000000000000e+002
However, I use read.table, it cannot read it correctly. It read in 18
variables instead of 9.
I am so frustrated. I tried to search the archive. Seems nobody else has
this problem.
Thank you!
