[R] read.data? without separator

[jim holtman]

I have a problem with 'read.data' also in that I don't see that as a
function in the 'base'; I assume you meant read.table.

Also you did not indicate is all the lines were the same length.  Here
is a solution to return a list is each character broken out
separately.

> x <- readLines(textConnection("# comment
+ 1?0001010101
+ 101010??1010"))
> closeAllConnections()
> # split lines 2-n into a list of separate characters
> result <- lapply(x[-1], function(.line) strsplit(.line, '')[[1]])
> result
[[1]]
 [1] "1" "?" "0" "0" "0" "1" "0" "1" "0" "1" "0" "1"

[[2]]
 [1] "1" "0" "1" "0" "1" "0" "?" "?" "1" "0" "1" "0"
