raxml distance loading into R for ordination analysis

[Jeffrey Chiu]

Dear community, 

Got a question related to how to import the output distance matrix from Raxml into R for processing. Assuming I am understanding this correctly, for a N x N distance matrix, Raxml outputs the relevant values (lower or upper triangle) of the distance matrix in column of length N * (N-1)/2. I understand that all the necessary values of the DM is listed but anyone know how to load this into R as a NxN DM for downstream analysis? 

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I am not sure which distance matrix you mean as it outputs several.

Maybe you could paste in an example here.
