[R] read txt file - date - no space

[Diego Avesani]

Dear all,

I am dealing with the reading of a *.txt file.
The txt file the following shape:

103001930 103001580 103001530
1998-10-01 00:00:00 0.6 0 0
1998-10-01 01:00:00 0.2 0.2 0.2
1998-10-01 02:00:00 0.6 0.2 0.4
1998-10-01 03:00:00 0 0 0.6
1998-10-01 04:00:00 0 0 0
1998-10-01 05:00:00 0 0 0
1998-10-01 06:00:00 0 0 0
1998-10-01 07:00:00 0.2 0 0

If it is possible I have a coupe of questions, which will sound stupid but
they are important to me in order to understand ho R deal with file or date.

1) Do I have to convert it to a *csv file?
2) Can a deal with space and not ","
3) How can I read date?

thanks a lot to all of you,
Thanks


Diego
