title: column names in 2nd row of csv file
body: <p>I have a csv file with a blank row above the column names.<br>
  Is it possible to correct for this in R?</p>
  
  <p>Right now, I open the csv and remove the blank row before running the R code. But I want to avoid this work if I can. </p>
  
  <p>What is the correct/best way to remove the blank row and then label the columns.  </p>
  
  <p>I have tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code> df &lt;- read.csv("SourceFile/filename.csv", header= TRUE, row.names = 2)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I get this error:</p>
  
  <p>Error in read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote,  : 
    more columns than column names</p>
