[R] Huge Dataset Dates Span two Lines

I'm trying to import a many gigabyte .txt file to analyze. It is asterisk
delimited. I'm having an issue with the date field in the dataset. In the
first 165 lines dates are listed as :
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS

Then on the 166th line and in other places the date spans two lines: 
YYYY-MM-DD
HH:MM:SS

This causes a problem because R thinks it has reached the end of a row in
the table. How can I solve this?
