title: read.csv, header on first line, skip second line
body: <p>I have a CSV file with two header rows, the first row I want to be the header, but the second row I want to discard.  If I do the following command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>data &lt;- read.csv("HK Stocks bbg.csv", header = T, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The first row becomes the header and the second row of the file becomes the first row of my data frame:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  Xaaaaaaaaa       X X.1     Xbbbbbbbbbb     X.2 X.3
  1         Date PX_LAST  NA         Date PX_LAST  NA
  2   31/12/2002  38.855  NA   31/12/2002  19.547  NA
  3   02/01/2003  38.664  NA   02/01/2003  19.547  NA
  4   03/01/2003  40.386  NA   03/01/2003  19.547  NA
  5   06/01/2003  40.386  NA   06/01/2003  19.609  NA
  6   07/01/2003  40.195  NA   07/01/2003  19.609  NA
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to skip this second row of the CSV file and just get</p>
  
  <pre><code>  X1.HK.Equity       X X.1 X2.HK.Equity     X.2 X.3
  2   31/12/2002  38.855  NA   31/12/2002  19.547  NA
  3   02/01/2003  38.664  NA   02/01/2003  19.547  NA
  4   03/01/2003  40.386  NA   03/01/2003  19.547  NA
  5   06/01/2003  40.386  NA   06/01/2003  19.609  NA
  6   07/01/2003  40.195  NA   07/01/2003  19.609  NA
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried <code>data &lt;- read.csv("HK Stocks bbg.csv", header = T, stringsAsFactors = FALSE, skip = 1)</code> but that returns:</p>
  
  <pre><code>        Date PX_LAST  X     Date.1 PX_LAST.1 X.1
  1 31/12/2002  38.855 NA 31/12/2002    19.547  NA
  2 02/01/2003  38.664 NA 02/01/2003    19.547  NA
  3 03/01/2003  40.386 NA 03/01/2003    19.547  NA
  4 06/01/2003  40.386 NA 06/01/2003    19.609  NA
  5 07/01/2003  40.195 NA 07/01/2003    19.609  NA
  6 08/01/2003  40.386 NA 08/01/2003    19.547  NA
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The header row comes from the second line of my CSV file, not the first line.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
