[R] Reading mixed tables

[David Winsemius]

Have you looked at the documentation and help files for R Import/Export;

http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-data.pdf

and the read functions

?read.table
?readLines
?count.fields

This is pretty basic stuff. After an extremely cursory look at that  
problem I was guessing that it is more like linear programming than  
statistics.
