readr read functions

readr has six read functions that support reading data from six different file formats. These are as follows:

• read_csv(): CSV files
• read_tsv(): Tab-separated files
• read_delim(): General delimited files
• read_fwf(): Fixed-width files
• read_table(): Tabular files where columns are separated by white-space
• read_log(): Web log files

Let's look at an example for each of these packages. We have already had a look at the read_csv method. Now let's move on to the read_tsv method.
