Hi all,
I have a matrix like this:
188556644
225588666
558888555
I try to read the table using read table but if I put sep="" I have
seen it
expects a white space, is there a "sep" option to read this matrix
so
each single number is a position of the matrix
No. You want read.fwf ... which I thought was in the foreign package
but it appears to be in base.

[1] 9

+ 225588666
+ 558888555")
> read.fwf(Lines, rep(1,9))
V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 V6 V7 V8 V9
1 1 8 8 5 5 6 6 4 4
2 2 2 5 5 8 8 6 6 6
3 5 5 8 8 8 8 5 5 5
... and wrap data.matrix around that result if you really do want a
matrix.
You see this matrix would be an 3x9 matrix
