Hi,

I have to read in data which looks like this:

SeriesA, 5, 5, 5, 5
SeriesB, 8, 5, 8, 8, 7, 10, 2, 7, 3
SeriesC, 5, 5, 8, 4, 7, 7, 4, 5
SeriesD, 5, 9, 5, 4, 2, 3, 10, 1
SeriesE, 7, 10, 9, 5, 8, 6, 10, 9, 5, 10, 4, 3, 2, 10, 8, 8, 10, 10, 10
SeriesF, 1, 2, 1, 5, 1, 7, 5, 7, 7, 3

There are actually much more data points in the data, each line contains
between 300 and 500 values.

If I use something like this:

lc <- read.csv("file", header = FALSE, sep = ",", fill = TRUE)

R treats rows as columns and columns as rows. Is there someway to change
this bahaviour? Or can i post process the data once I read it in?

Thanks a lot!
