title: Problems with reading a txt file (EOF within quoted string)
body: <p>I am trying to use <code>read.table()</code> to import <a href="http://weather.noaa.gov/data/nsd_bbsss.txt" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this <code>TXT</code> file</a> into <code>R</code> (contains informations about meteorological stations provided by the WMO):</p>
  
  <p>However, when I try to use </p>
  
  <pre><code>tmp &lt;- read.table(file=...,sep=";",header=FALSE)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get this error</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>eof within quoted string</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>warning and only 3514 of the 6702 lines appear in '<code>tmp</code>'. From a quick look at the text file, I couldn't find any seemingly problematic characters.</p>
  
  <p>As suggested in other threads, I also tried <code>quote=""</code>. The <code>EOF</code> warning disappeared, but still only 3514 lines are imported.</p>
  
  <p>Any advice on how I can get <code>read.table()</code> to work for this particular txt file?</p>
