That doesn't specify the format. I can think of at least seven things that could be: a character vector a two-column matrix a one-column matrix a two-column data frame, with or without values correctly specified as character a one-column data frame, with or without values correctly specified as character The correct answer depends on what the format actually is; you need to use dput() or some other unambiguous way of providing sample data. Here are some suggestions for creating a good reproducible example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example Some combination of strsplit() and table(), possibly with apply(), will be the answer, though.
