[R] list entries file into a list

[Liaw, Andy]

The following might be what you want (replace "clipboard" with your
filename):

> mylist <- strsplit(readLines("clipboard"), ":")
> nm <- sapply(mylist, "[", 1)
> mylist <- lapply(mylist, "[", -1)
> names(mylist) <- nm
> mylist <- lapply(mylist, function(s) strsplit(s, ",")[[1]])
> mylist
$entry0001
[1] "AB0032"  "CF32134" "DF34334"

$entry0002
[1] "AB0033"

$entry0003
[1] "AB0032"   "CF32134"  "DF34334"  "DD343434" "DD34222" 

$entry0004
[1] "AB0032"  "CF32134"
