Hi Matthew,
I'm not sure whether you want something like your initial request or
David's solution. The result of this can be transformed into the
latter:

mmdf<-read.table(text="Regulator hits

If each value of "hits" was a single character string, it would only have 2 factor levels not 6 and your efforts to parse the string would make more sense. Transposing to a data frame would only be possible if each column was padded with NAs to make them equal in length. Since your example tries use the name TF2list, it is possible that you do not have a data frame but a list and you have no factor levels, just character vectors.
