[R] Converting Matrix into List - problem (urgent)

[Nidhi Kohli]

JiHo,

Thanks for the reply, however i dont think it will help. Okay here is what i will achieve once i get this into a list format. I have another file in the following format:
0.63275433157105
0.686061949818395
0.786426681675948
0.954103894997388
0.600840965518728
0.949194842483848
0.972337634302676
0.830398896243423
0.81455702194944
0.530893135233782
0.602987287449650
0.588278376264498
0.843511423328891
0.692051859106869
0.884920709999278
0.748849621042609
0.858809254132211
0.995953047415242
0.690017589717172
0.888722610659897

I need to compute correlation between these two sets. So i'm trying to convert my other file also in the above format so that i can use the function to compute correlation
