Read a Text File into R

I have a custom stopword list which is in a text file separated with newline character.How can I use the that file in my R script?

Code:

my_stopwords <- c(stopwords(),"aint","wanna","gonna",...)

The only problem is I want to read the words from the file instead of hardcoding them like above. My text file looks like this:

"aint"
"wanna"
"gonna"
...

Thanks in advance.

A new-line-separated file could technically be considered a valid CSV file. Try read.csv() to get the list in as a data.frame. You may want to unlist it or just access the first column to get it in an array like what you have.
