I have the following code

fileList <-list.files(path = ".", pattern = "[^a-z].txt$", all.files =
FALSE, full.names = FALSE, recursive = FALSE, ignore.case = FALSE)
for (x in 1:length(fileList)){
    fileLines <- data.frame(read.table(fileList[x]))
    print(string)
}

the lines of the file all have the following format...
AB,20091224,156,156,154,154,55,1198

Can I access the comma separated values directly via indexes on fileLines?
e.g. I want to be able to do something like this...

>date <- fileLines[1][2]
>print(date)
"20091224"

I've been trying for a while and I haven't been able to hit the separate
elements.
