Is there any way to read a file by every n characters?

[Zhenjiang Lan]

Hi,

I know this question is not relative to ggplot2, but...

I want to read a file into R, with no separator, every n (1,2,3,4...)
characters as a column. for example:

file:

123456789
987654321
111111111

I want to get a table like

123 456 789
987 654 321
111 111 111

(n=3 here.)

Any function can do this? I search but found nothing...

Thanks!

Take a look at ?read.fwf which might get what you need.

(FWF = "Fixed width format")

Cheers,
Michael
