How to split a single vector into a multiple-column and multiple-row matrix

Dear List,

I have, say, a 2000x1 numeric vector and would like to
split it into, say, a 200x10 matrix.  Any help is
appreciated.

You can use 'matrix()', as in

x <- 1:2000
matrix(x, nrow = 200, ncol = 10)

#
x <- rnorm(2000)

dim(x) <- c(200, 10)
## or if you want it by row:
matrix(x, 200, 10, TRUE)


Best,
Dimitris
