R not reading header line from .txt file

I am just beginning to learn R and I can't figure out why the header line isn't being read in my data. Below is my very simple script with the error at the end saying one of my headers does not exist.

dat = read.table("D:/Wild_South/Linville_Gorge/HWA/Data/R_HWA.txt", header = T)

dat

    Treatment HWA Elevation

1           0 0.0      3072

2           0 0.0      3357

.
.
.
.

176         1 3.0      3898

177         1 3.0      3771

results = lm(HWA ~ Elevation + Treatment)

Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : object 'HWA' not found

Thoughts?

If I understand your issue correctly, you simply need to change the code to results = lm(dat$HWA ~ dat$Elevation + dat$Treatment). It is not the case that header line is not being read, but that the variables are not being identified correctly.
