No I don't want to adapt them manually by adding "," and format them by
hand... that's tedious and daunting...


you cannot just paste it, you have to adapt it either like this
>
> x <- matrix( c( 1.2, 3.4, 1.4,
>                       2.3, 3.7, 2.6 ),
>                   nrow = 2, byrow = TRUE)
>
> or like this:
>
> x <- rbind( c( 1.2, 3.4, 1.4 ),
>                 c( 2.3, 3.7, 2.6 ) )
