Then it's time to move away from the chalkboard and get practical at  
the keyboard. Start with the R Data Import/Export Manual which is  
mentioned and linked in the "Further Resources" section of the Posting  
Guide.

Because of the irregular line length, your data needs the facilities  
provided by the fill argument to read.table(). You will them probably  
need to choose between learning the reshape function (not the easiest  
task) or the melt/cast combination in the reshape2 package. There are  
worked examples on the help pages and many more in the rhelp archives.
