Hi all,

I'm a beginner user of R. I am stuck at what I thought was a very obvious
problem, but surprisingly, I havent found any solution on the forum or
online till now.

My problem is simple. I have a file which has entries like the following:
#ID       Value1            List_of_values
ID1          0.342             0.01,1.2,0,0.323,0.67
ID2         0.010              0.987,0.056,1.3,1.5,0.4
ID3         0.146              0.1173,0.1494,0.211,0.1257
...
...

I want to split the third column (by comma) into individual values and put
them in a variable so that I can plot a boxplot with those values, one
boxplot per row . I have been having three issues:
1) R identifies the third column as an integer, instead of a list of lists
2) I havent been able to split the third column into individual values
3) How do I get it in a format suitable for plotting a boxplot?

Any suggestions? I'd really appreciate any help on this.

Thank you,
Gaurav
