Problems with reading a txt file (EOF within quoted string)

file-io, r, read.table

Solution

It looks like your data actually has 11548 rows. This works:

read.table(url('http://weather.noaa.gov/data/nsd_bbsss.txt'), 
    sep=';', quote=NULL, comment='', header=FALSE)

Problem

I am trying to use `read.table()` to import this `TXT` file into `R` (contains informations about meteorological stations provided by the WMO): However, when I try to use ``` tmp <- read.table(file=...,sep=";",header=FALSE) ``` I get this error eof within quoted string warning and only 3514 of the 6702 lines appear in '`tmp`'. From a quick look at the text file, I couldn't find any seemingly problematic characters. As suggested in other threads, I also tried `quote=""`. The `EOF` warning disappeared, but still only 3514 lines are imported. Any advice on how I can get `read.table()` to work for this particular txt file?
