The problem with that solution is that there are an irregular number
of numbers per row ranging from 8 to 6. You could read in as text with
readLines but then need to extract by 25 lines at a time and then
cbind the segments. Doable mind you, but I suspect faster with a
spreadsheet intermediate solution.
The real solution is to grab the miscreant sender by the throat , er,
tactfully discuss with your valued customer ,,, and shake out a
machine readable form that has all of one row in a row.
