Dear Eliza,
Thank you for testing the code.? Sorry, it was a mistake.
I created one more file "Eliza3.txt" (attached)
Try this.
library(stringr)
lapply(list.files(),function(i) str_count(gsub(" $","",readLines(i))," "))?
#[[1]]
# [1] 7 7 7 7 6 7 7 7 7 7 6 6 7 7 7 7 6 7 7 7 7 7 6 6

#[[3]]
# [1] 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 6
resNew<-lapply(list.files(),function(i) {Lines2<-gsub(" $","",readLines(i));Lines2[str_count(Lines2," ")==7]<- str_replace(Lines2[str_count(Lines2," ")==7],"\\s+","???? ");Lines2[str_count(Lines2," ")==6]<- str_replace(Lines2[str_count(Lines2," ")==6],"\\s+","??? ");substr(Lines2,6,6)<-ifelse(substr(Lines2,6,6)==0," ",substr(Lines2,6,6));substr(Lines2,9,9)<-ifelse(substr(Lines2,9,9)==0," ",substr(Lines2,9,9));Lines2})
?names(resNew)<- gsub("\\..*","",list.files())
lapply(resNew,function(x) str_count(x," "))

Dear Arun,
Thankyou very very much. these commands did work. but there is one slight mistake i want to point at. the codes work good. but when months goes in double figure and date is less than 10, then the digit of month at 10th place gets deleted.
for example, see the following table from?[31382,]? to?[31390,]. instead of 12, it wrote 2.
[31375,] "1996.11.24 ? ? 3.26"
[31376,] "1996.11.25 ? ? 3.02"
[31377,] "1996.11.26 ? ? 3.61"
[31378,] "1996.11.27 ? ? 3.43"
[31379,] "1996.11.28 ? ? 5.91"
[31380,] "1996.11.29 ? ? 4.48"
[31381,] "1996.11.30 ? ? 1.30"
[31382,] "1996. 2. 1 ? ? 1.50"
[31383,] "1996. 2. 2 ? ? 2.37"
[31384,] "1996. 2. 3 ? ? 3.62"
[31385,] "1996. 2. 4 ? ? 4.60"
[31386,] "1996. 2. 5 ? ? 4.34"
[31387,] "1996. 2. 6 ? ? 3.26"
[31388,] "1996. 2. 7 ? ? 3.02"
[31389,] "1996. 2. 8 ? ? 3.61"
[31390,] "1996. 2. 9 ? ? 3.43"

[31392,] "1996.12.11 ? ? 4.48"
