dat <- as.data.frame( matrix( scan('tmp.txt'), nr=19) )
returns a data.frame which is a list with some added attributes.
or
dat <- lapply( readLines('tmp.txt'), function(x) scan(textConnection(x)
) )
Or
char.dat <- strsplit( readLines('tmp.txt'), split='[[:blank:]]+')
numeric.dat <- lapply( char.dat, as.numeric )
