Hello,

I've got a matrix consisting of one column with n rows. Each field in the matrix is filled with a character vector.

I would like to convert this matrix into a character vector containing the B03_MAH-type entries from the beginning of each row and a data.frame that contains the numeric data, but I am stuck.

I have tried to use textConnection with sep = " " but since there is sometimes more than two spaces separating the entries, I obtain a result with columns full of NAs.

Then I tried sub() to replace the all multi-spaces to get only one space that separates each entry but that didn't work either.

Do you know a good way to convert this matrix?

Thanks already,

Kim
