How can I read the header but also skip lines - read.table()?

Question

Data.txt:

Index;Time;
1;2345;
2;1423;
3;5123;

The code:

dat <- read.table(\'data.txt\', skip = 1, nrows = 2, header =TRU         


        

Answer 1

You're using skip incorrectly. Try this:

dat <- read.table('data.txt', nrows = 2, header =TRUE, sep =';')[-1, ]
