[R] Reading in data

[Jim Lemon]

Josef,

One easy way is to use "read.table" to create a data frame.  For
example, if you have an ASCII file of the following format:

subject,sex,height,weight,age
001,M,183,72,53
002,F,167,55,28
...

called "people.dat" you can create a data frame object with the command

people.df<-read.table("people.dat",header=T,sep=",")

see read.table in the help pages.
