There is a data import/export document on cran.r-project.org
And included with R distributions. It's one of the manuals, and will be
accessible via the help menu in front ends that have one.

Subject: [R] Importing data from a text file with no separator
I have row data in a text file, where each row consists of 22 numerical
characters. Each row consists of three different column but there is no
separator. Specifically, the first two characters of the raw represent the
first column of data, the subsequent 8 characters represent the second column
of data and the last 12 characters represent the third column of data. An
example follows:
row data:
1003061490000000011608
The first two characters, "10", is the column "Regime"; the subsequent 8 characters, "03061490", is
the column "Industry", and the last 12 characters, "000000011608", is the column dollar value. How do I
import the column data into R without having any separator in the text file?
Thanks for your help, Paolo.
