R help - Jun 2012 - Read txt File contains character ""

Hi 
Dear friend,

 I encountered a problem when I read in one huge txt file which contains the
character  *""*
when I run
read.table("D:/test.txt",header=T,sep="\t",quote="")
the lines can only be read before "" appears.
Once "" appears, it will stop there.

Could you help me on this .

Many thanks. !

Hello,

There's a ascii 26, hex 1a, between the quotes. Get rid of it and it 
will probably work.

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
