Sarah:

You may not agree, but the following avoids the IMHO ugly rbind() and
separate conversion to numeric by using scan():

## first, as before..

x <- c("qwer$$12$$qwre", "ewrtr$7789$ewwe")
x <- strsplit(x, "\\$+")

## Then, instead ...

x.convert <- data.frame(scan(textConnection(unlist(x)),wh=list("a",0,"a")))

## You'll need to replace with suitable column names, of course

Cheers,
Bert
