no,
the problem is that the lines in my file do not correspond to
individuals, but are variables, just like are the columns,
my file is already a contingency table, with each cell being a frequency:
here is a sample of it:

**********************************************************
I know how to read it into a df or a matrix,
if it was a df or matrix, i could turn it into a table,
but this is already a contingency table
for example, the first number "4", is the number of people being in
city "Strasbg" (first row) and working at "AUC" (first column) (this
is Auchan actually)
I do not have the original file where each row would be an individual,
I just have that flat file, with variables on the rows and variables
on the colums, and frequencies in each cell,
And I wonder how to read it in R telling him this is a
frequency/contingency table ....
I can't believe there are no way of getting aroud it (or maybe the sun
stroke to heavy on my head) ....
