Subject: [R] Difficulty importing data from PARI/GP

I'm trying to import a matrix created in PARI/GP into R but am having
problems.
The data in the text file has entries separated by commas but the rows
themselves are separated by semicolons rathen than being on a new line. Is
there a way to get R to recognise that ";" means start a new row ?
