I need to read a lot of table data. but some of them contains **** (but the number and location of **** in the file are uncertain), see one of the examples below. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
What is the best way to handle the **** in these files other than manually removing them? I am currently using readAsciiTable to read. </div>
