afaik, you have to read all the table
and then you select the column you want.
eg read.table(blabla)[3] to get the 3rd column.
You can read partially rows (see nrows) but not columns.
Please somebody correct me if I am wrong.
(Of course a trick could be to transpose your table
before writing it, etc)
