Hi, everyone,

I'm new to R and the List, and excited to be here. I am coming from a background working in SPSS 16, primarily, which has a lot of easy options for reading in data. I am working in R in an Ubuntu Linux environment, and I'm learning with R Commander.

Now, here's my question. In my line of work, I'm used to getting data in some kind of flat ASCII format with a separate file indicating which columns correspond to which variables. In the Venables and Ripley book on S/R that I'm reading, there doesn't seem to be a way to read this kind of data format into R, and I haven't found anything online.

If anyone has the tine, I'd sure appreciate a little guidance.
Thanks,

DD
