Subject: [Rd]  read.table with ":" in column names (PR#8511)
Message-ID: <43D0EF7B.7050609@fz-rossendorf.de>

in my view it's not always good to get this answer, but your "problem" 
is not too deeply hidden in the manpages, so simply read the 
documentation of read.table:

?read.table


(and look out for the "check.names" flag)

regards,
joerg
