Convert a Text to a Table

Description

Convert a text to a table by using complete columns of spaces (or any other separator) as delimiting point.

Usage

FixToTable(txt, sep = " ", delim = "\t", trim = TRUE, header = TRUE)

Arguments

txt	the text to be partitioned. Works best, if txt is a matrix.
sep	the separator to use. Will frequently be " ".
delim	the new delimiter to insert. (default tab)
trim	logical. Should the separated text be trimmed from whitespace? Defaults to TRUE.
header	logical. Should the first line be interpreted as header?

Details

Only a complete appearance of the separator character in the same position over all rows will be accepted as column delimiter.

Value

a matrix of the separated text.
