Interesting to read all the answers. Personally, I was a bit irked to see
that using a combination of assignments using rownames() and colnames() did
not work as one canceled what the other had done.
But it turns out if we listed to what John really wanted versus what he said
he wanted, then a

At least on my system string has a single value of " xxx1 xxx2" not "xxx1" and

What you want is "J", "K", "xxx1", "xxx2"
If I cheat everything works. So then the goal is to rewrite the program so
