[R] Data import

[Polona Razpotnik]

Hello!

I have a question regarding data import.
My data are in txt file in two long columns looking like this:

D1
1       a
2       b
3       c
4       d
D2
1       e
2       f
3       g
4       h
D3
1       i
2       j
3       k
4       l     etc.

I would like to have them in the table looking like this (after importing 
them to R):

      D1    D2    D3
1    a       e       i
2    b       f       j
3    c       g       k
4    d       h      l

Can this be achieved directly from the txt file or do I have to rearrange 
it?

Thank you very much for any help!
