R Basic, Lists of Packages & Functions for loading files

Loading some files, it is almost always confusing which function is proper.

As a program toddler, I'm still green with handling data but it takes getting used to. It's one of the reasons I want to organise myself by file-type.

File Type -> Packages-> Functions 

 CVS  ->Default ->read.csv 

excel  -> readxl  -> read_excel

 shp  -> maptools  -> readShapepoly

shp  -> shapefiles  -> read.shp

 txt -> Default -> read.table(Load txt file as table, more comments below)
