I find the best way is to check the "properties" of your file.
Then copy and paste it to R
use
setwd("insert your location here")
getwd
table1 <- read.table("inserttablenamehere.csv", header=TRUE, sep=",", stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
You have to be careful with copying from windows as all should be / in you directory and not \
Just another way that might help
