[R] Splitting a vector into data frame

[Jim Lemon]

Hi Burhan,
As all of your values seem to be character, perhaps:

country.df<-as.data.frame(matrix(temp.data,ncol=22,byrow=TRUE)[,2:21])

if there really are 2 country names and 20 values for each country. As
Boris has pointed out, there are different numbers of values following
the country names in your example.

Jim
