Hi all,

I have a matrix like this:

188556644
225588666
558888555

I try to read the table using read table but if I put sep="" I have seen it
expects a white space, is there a "sep" option to  read this matrix so
each single number is a position of the matrix

No. You want read.fwf ... which I thought was in the foreign package but it appears to be in base.

> nchar(188556644)
[1] 9
> Lines <- textConnection("188556644
+ 225588666
+ 558888555")
> read.fwf(Lines, rep(1,9))
  V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 V6 V7 V8 V9
1  1  8  8  5  5  6  6  4  4
2  2  2  5  5  8  8  6  6  6
3  5  5  8  8  8  8  5  5  5


You see this matrix would be an 3x9 matrix

I tried other option but also didn´t worked.

If sep = "" (the default for read.table) the separator is ‘white space’,
that is one or more spaces, tabs, newlines or carriage returns.
