[R] How can I read the following complicated table

[Rainer Schuermann]

What have you tried so far that did not work, and what do you want the result of your reading the text file look like? What is "store somewhere"?

Why does 

> myDF <- read.table( "myData.txt" )

which gives you

> myDF
         V1 V2 V3 V4
1    Monday 12 78 89
2   Tuesday 34 44 67
3 Wednesday 78 98  2
4  Thursday 34 55  4

as a starting point, not suffice?

Rgds,
Rainer
