Greetings,

I am not familiar with processing text in R. Can someone tell me how to
read each line of words as separate elements in a list?

FE, I would like to turn:

word1 word2 word3
word2 word4

into a list of length two with three character elements in the first list and two elements in the second. I know that this should be easy, but I am a
little confused by the text functions.

> txt <- textConnection("word1 word2 word3
+ word2 word4")
> strsplit(readLines(txt), " ")
[[1]]
[1] "word1" "word2" "word3"

[[2]]
[1] "word2" "word4"
