Does this do what you want.

> x <- "a,b,c|1,2,3|4,5,6|7,8,8"
> x.1 <- strsplit(x, "[|]")
> x.1
[[1]]
[1] "a,b,c" "1,2,3" "4,5,6" "7,8,8"
> x.2 <- lapply(x.1, strsplit, ',')
> x.2
[[1]]
[[1]][[1]]
[1] "a" "b" "c"
[[1]][[2]]
[1] "1" "2" "3"
[[1]][[3]]
[1] "4" "5" "6"
[[1]][[4]]
[1] "7" "8" "8"

> do.call(rbind, x.2[[1]])
     [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] "a"  "b"  "c"
[2,] "1"  "2"  "3"
[3,] "4"  "5"  "6"
[4,] "7"  "8"  "8"
