Hello,
my question is about the data handling.

I have a data set that is lined as:

4 1 17 1 1
 -5.1536 -0.1668 -2.3412 -0.5062  0.9621  0.3640  0.3678 -0.5081 -0.2227
  0.8142 -0.0389 -0.0445 -0.0578 -0.1175 -0.1232  0.8673 -0.1033 -0.0796
 -0.0341 -0.1716 -0.1801 -0.7014  0.6578  0.5611
4 1 17 2 1
 -5.1536 -0.1668 -2.3412 -0.5062  0.9621  0.3640  0.3678 -0.5081 -0.2227
  0.8142 -0.0389 -0.0445 -0.0578 -0.1175 -0.1232  0.8673 -0.1033 -0.0796
 -0.0341 -0.1716 -0.1801 -0.7014  0.6578  0.5611

This means that 29 variables are together as a set. You saw two sets of them in example. I have about 1000 sets (of 29 variables) in my data. When I "scan" this data set, the result comes with 7 columns and it is not possible, so far, to read the table by column wise, and thus it is not possible to analyze the data. I would like to know whether there is a way to solve this problem, say, by arranging columns or increasing the number of columns of data matrix by R.

Also, I would like to know how you could name each column of the data so that you could use the individual column separately.

Sincerely.
