Here is one way: data.matrix(read.table(file.dat, fill = TRUE, col.names = 1:9)) If you don't know that that its 9x9 in advance then try this: n <- max(count.fields(file.dat)) data.matrix(read.table(file.dat, fill = TRUE, col.names = 1:n)) ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
