R sais:
Error in scan(file = file, what = what, sep = sep, quote = quote, dec = dec, :
line 3 did not have 34 elements
And I see my dats and in line 3 the first number is an space (missing value)

read.table with spaces

You should make your missing value indicator something other than your separator indicator: 1. Use a text editor to indicate all missing values as NA or 2. Use a text editor to replace the 3 separator spaces with, for example, a comma or semicolon and use the argument sep="," or sep=";" which won't trigger on ANY whitespace.
