title: R does not load all rows of a text file to table
body: <p>I am trying to load a 580,000-line, 18-column tab-separated text file into R. It runs smoothly with no errors or warnings, but only ~290,000 lines are in the output table. The columns are a mix of numeric and text data, and many cells are blank (not set to NA). The file itself is only 80 MB, well within R's size limits.</p>
  <pre><code>b = read.table(&quot;myfile.txt&quot;, sep = '\t', fill = T, header = T)
  dim(b)
  [1] 293582     18
  </code></pre>
  <p>I need all 580,000 lines. Is there a way to prevent R from cutting them off?</p>
