R programming Reading a table in R

I'm trying to read a table in R:

dat <- read.table("~/data/data.txt",quote="\"",c("com","Type","col1","col2"),header=TRUE). 

I get the following error:

Error in scan(file, what = "", sep = sep, quote = quote, nlines = 1, quiet = TRUE,  : invalid 'sep' value: must be one byte)

Try this code:

dat <- read.table("~/data/data.txt", quote="\"", 
                  col.names=c("com", "Type", "col1", "col2"), header=TRUE). 

Hope it helps.
