import of data from txt files

Hi all,
MySQL is quite new for me. therefore, I think that this question may be quite basic for most of you. However, I think it is not well explined anywhere.
I have just downloaded the MySQL recently The MySQL command line server doesn't work well. when I click in it the window shows up for just a fractio of second. then it disapears.
But anyway. I can still use the workbench5.2.33 CE revision 7508 I downloaded.
this is what I've done to imput data from a txt file into a table I created using workbench
I created a table with two columns here. then I entered the following code that, in theory, loads data from external files into the table I just created.

load data infile 'C:/Saga_global/countries.txt' into table test.countries;

The file that contains the data I want to import into Mysql is countries.txt. It contains only two columns: (1) Id_country that contains 4 digit number in each row. (2) countries, that contains the name of a country in each row.

Test is the schema that contains the table countries, which is the table where I want to import the data from the file countries.txt. The table countries also have 2 columns. id_countries that is setted to hold INT data and countries that is setted to hold varchar (45).

However I got the following error message:

Error Code: 1366
Incorrect integer value: '"6569"' for column 'id_country' at row 1
could someone please give mi a hand?. I am going nuts with this!.
chers,
