1 2	read_asc2(file, attributes = 16, na.strings = "RWLuecke", header = F, sep = "", dec = ".", verbose = FALSE, ...)

`file`	The file to be read.
`attributes`	How many attibutes are provided?
`na.strings`	a character vector of strings which are to be interpreted as NA values. Blank fields are also considered to be missing values in logical, integer, numeric and complex fields.
`header`	a logical value indicating whether the file contains the names of the variables as its first line. If missing, the value is determined from the file format: header is set to TRUE if and only if the first row contains one fewer field than the number of columns.
`sep`	the field separator character. Values on each line of the file are separated by this character. If sep = "" (the default for read.table) the separator is 'white space', that is one or more spaces, tabs, newlines or carriage returns.
`dec`	the character used in the file for decimal points.
`verbose`	logical. Provide additional details?
`...`	Further arguments to be passed to read.table.
