title: Designating Other than First Row as Headers in R
body: <p>I have data in a .csv that I am trying to pull into R. Using the following command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>data=read.table("C:\\Users\\Riemman\\Desktop\\IWM_Minute_Data.csv",header=TRUE,sep=",",skip=2)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the data in the CSV file is structured so that the first row in the row in the data file is empty, the second row are the headers and the data starts at the third row. How do I tell R to designate the second row and not the first as the header row?? </p>
