Hi All, I've been given a data file of the form: 1: 3,4,5,6 2:1,2,3 43: 5,7,8,9,5
and i want to read this data in as a list to create the form: (guessing final look) my.list [[1]] [1] 3 4 5 6 [[2]] [1] 1 2 3 [[43]] [1] 5 7 8 9 5 I can get to a stage using scan: scan("my.data", what = character(0), quiet = TRUE) to load [1] "1: 3,4,5,6" [2] "2:1,2,3" [3] "43: 5,7,8,9,5" but im not sure on how next to proceed to arrange this into a list form, can anyone offer some advise?
