That doesn't specify the format. I can think of at least seven things
that could be:
a character vector
a two-column matrix
a one-column matrix
a two-column data frame, with or without values correctly specified as character
a one-column data frame, with or without values correctly specified as character

The correct answer depends on what the format actually is; you need to
use dput() or some other unambiguous way of providing sample data.

Here are some suggestions for creating a good reproducible example:

Some combination of strsplit() and table(), possibly with apply(),
will be the answer, though.

and please don't post in HTML, as it makes figuring out what you meant
even more difficult.
