Difference between read.table and read.delim functions

Question

What is the difference between the read.table() and read.delim() functions in the R language?

Answer 1

Similarly, read.delim and read.delim2 are for reading delimited files, defaulting to the TAB character for the delimiter. Notice that header = TRUE and fill = TRUE in these variants, and that the comment character is disabled.
