Title Read Clinical File

1	ReadClinical(file.name, sep = ",", quote = "\"")

`file.name`	path to clinical file
`sep`	the field separator character. Values on each line of the file are separated by this character. If `sep = ""`, the separator is 'white space', that is one or more spaces, tabs, newlines or carriage returns. The default is `,`. See read.csv.
`quote`	the set of quoting characters. To disable quoting altogether, use `quote = ""`. See scan for the behaviour on quotes embedded in quotes. Quoting is only considered for columns read as character, which is all of them unless colClasses is specified. The default is `\"`. See read.csv.

a data.frame of clinical data
