I have a text file similar to this (separated by spaces):

"
and I know the field lengths of each variable (there is 5 variables in
this data set), which are:
varlength <- c(2, 2, 18, 5, 18)
How can I import this kind of data into R, using the varlength
variable as an field separator indicator?
See ?read.fwf.
