Dear R users...

I'd like to change this character vector, "zz",

zz <- c("12","56","89")

to the following numeric matrix.

    [,1] [,2]
[1,]    1    2
[2,]    5    6
[3,]    8    9


Actually, "zz" vector has a long length.

Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

Kathryn Lord

pieces <- strsplit(zz, "") # look at what pieces looks like
my.data <- as.numeric(unlist(pieces))
my.matrix <- t(matrix(my.data, nrow=2))

my.matrix
     [,1] [,2]
[1,]    1    2
[2,]    5    6
[3,]    8    9
