Hi there
I have a list that looks like this
object1 object1 78
object1 object2 45
object1 object3 34
object1 object4 45
object2 object2 89
object2 object3 32
object2 object4 13

but i want to create a matrix like this in order to use the dist function of R


             object1       object2         object3          object4
object1   78          45          34            45

object2        45                     89                     32                        13

Is there a method in R that will take a list and format it in this way?

Any help much appreciated.
