Is there a way of reading in a file in a way that each line becomes a vector: for example:
meals.txt breakfast bacon eggs sausage lunch sandwich apple marsbar crisps dinner chicken rice custard pie I want to read in this file and end up with 3 different vectors, one called breakfast which contains "bacon", "eggs", sausage" One called lunch with "sandwich", "apple"... etc So is there a way to do this with a file like this? Or would I need to transpose the file using something like Perl? And since the vectors are not all of equal length, would I have to also increase the size of the shorter lines by adding NAs? I'm working with a file much bigger than this and this could be a bit of a bother...
