R devel - Oct 2017 - How to represent two-dimensonal data in R?

I asked this question yesterday, but since I didn't receive any responses, I
thought I would simply the question a bit and try again.

Basically, I'm getting a query result sent to a program. That data is just
the rows and columns of a database table. Simple 2-D.

My (hopefully simple) question is how do I take that variable and put that
two-dimensional data in a form I can then send to R?

Can R represent two-dimensional data when passed like that to a variable? I
cannot find a single example, anywhere, that describes how to do it. :(

I've tried: "data", "data.frame", "table", the
data by itself, etc.

Nothing works. I only get "eval" syntax errors.

Please advise with any suggestions.

Thanks again.

You are on the R devel list. Please use R help and provide people with more
detail, like the code you tried and the actual file format.

Kind regards
