R help - Nov 2011 - read.table : fill missing entry with "unAvailable" [edit]

Hi R users,
I try to read a data file (tab delimited format) in which some of the
entries in a particular field are missing. Is it possible to fill the
unavailable data with 'UnAvailable' string while performing read.table()

Something like
df = read.table(DataFile, header=FALSE,  fill_missing_entry =
'unAvailable')

thanks

Or remove the the complete row in which the missing entry appear.
