R help - Sep 2008 - design question on piping multiple data sets from 1 file into R

Hi,
   I have some queries that I use  to get time series information for 8 seperate
queries which deal with a different set of time series each.

  I take my queries run them and save the output as csv file and them format the
data into graphs in excel.

  I wanted to know if there is an elegant and clean way to read in 1 csv file
but to read the seperate matrices on different rows into seperate R data
objects.

  if this is easy then I can read the 8 datasets in the csv file into 8 r
objects and pipe them to time series objects for graphs.

thanks
Dhruv

I think that you can use read.csv with nrows and skip arguments (see
?read.table).
