title: R: read.table with quotation marks
body: <p>I've got the following structure, saved in a txt.file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>" punc "
  x nounsg x
  " punc "
  " punc "
  artikel nounsg "
  " punc "
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like to read this txt.file into R, so I've tried this with </p>
  
  <pre><code>read.table("pos.txt",header=F, sep=" ")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but this yield in R:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"tpunc\t"
  x\tnounsg\tx
  "\tpunc\t
  "\tpunc\t
  artikel\tnounsg\tartikel
  "\tpunc\t"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like to have a matrix with 3 columns and 6 rows instead. How could this be done?</p>
  
  <p>When I add <code>fill = TRUE</code> and use <code>sep = "\t",</code> then I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code> \tpunc\t             x                  \tpunc\t
   \tpunc\t             artikel            \tpunc\t 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So there is some information lost</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt; readLines("pos.txt")[1:2]
  [1] "\"\tpunc\t\""             "artikel\tnounsg\tartikel"
  </code></pre>
