Hi
If you have data frame like this
test=data.frame(x=c("abcd", "abc", "abcde"))
than
strsplit(as.matrix(test), "")
makes a list with splitted character vectors. If you want them in data
frame you would need to combine vectors of unequal length.
However I would try reading your text file with
read.fwf(file, 1)
Regards
Petr
