Subject: converting an ASCII file to a matrix
Dear R-WinEdit users,
I got a simple question, but somehow I cannot find the answer, although
I have
tried a lot!
I got an ASCII-file and I want to import it into R, so that every
character is defined by [i;j].
The rows are not of the same length.
the file looks like the following shortened abstract example:
name: xxxxx xxxx
age: 9.9.99
record number: 999
title: xxxxx xxxx xxx
keywords: xxx xx
"white space"
name: yyyy yyyyyyyyyyyy
age: 8.8.88
record number: 8
title: yyyy yy yyyy
keywords: yyyyyyyyyyy yyyyyyyy yyy
"white space"
I would be very grateful for your help!
