Hi,
I'm having difficulty importing my textfile that looks something like this:

#begin text file
Timepoint 1
ObjectNumber     Volume     SurfaceArea
1                      5.3          9.7
2                      4.9          8.3
3                      5.0          9.1
4                      3.5          7.8

Timepoint 2
ObjectNumber     Volume     SurfaceArea
1                      5.1          9.0
2                      4.7          8.9
3                      4.3          8.3
4                      4.2          7.9

... #goes on to Timepoint 80

How would I import this data into a list containing data.frame for each
timepoint?
I'd like my data to be organized like this:

>myList
[[1]]
   ObjectNumber     Volume     SurfaceArea
1  1                      5.3          9.7
2  2                      4.9          8.3
3  3                      5.0          9.1
4  4                      3.5          7.8

[[2]]
  ObjectNumber     Volume     SurfaceArea
1 1                      5.1          9.0
2 2                      4.7          8.9
3 3                      4.3          8.3
4 4                      4.2          7.9
