Of course this is a trivial task: text.in <- readLines(file.in) matrix.in <- strsplit(text.in, "[ \t]+") # matrix.out <- transpose matrix.in # loop over the lines of matrix.out creating text.out writeLines(text.out, file.out)
What is the _most elegant_ way to write the transposition of matrix.in (that is _not_ a matrix) and the pasting of the lines of matrix.out?
