Hello! I have a question regarding data import. My data are in txt file in two long columns looking like this: D1 1 a 2 b 3 c 4 d D2 1 e 2 f 3 g 4 h D3 1 i 2 j 3 k 4 l etc. I would like to have them in the table looking like this (after importing them to R): D1 D2 D3 1 a e i 2 b f j 3 c g k 4 d h l Can this be achieved directly from the txt file or do I have to rearrange it? Thank you very much for any help!
