R help - Dec 2009 - 2D array of strings

Sorry for the dumb question, but I couldn't figure this out myself.

Consider the following:
> str <- c("abc","def")
> array(str, c(2,1))
     [,1]
[1,] "abc"
[2,] "def"

How can i obtain the outcome of the second instruction without
specifying the number of rows?

Thank you in advance,
Francesco.

matrix(str, ncol=1)

Hi Francesco,

Be carefull with create a object named str, because you crash str()
function. I don't know if it have implications on any package or functions.
