error in reading a table

Sorry,

What does this error mean?

> mycounts <- read.table("transposed_norm_vst.txt", header = T, sep = "\t")
Error in read.table("transposed_norm_vst.txt", header = T, sep = "\t") :
  more columns than column names

It means what it says, though you probably want to know why this might occur. I typically see this if I have row names as well, since then there's no label for the column of them (there's an option in read.table() to get around that).
