Suppose I have a string 

"1|2|3|4|5|6 
7|8|9"

Note the ‘\n’ present after 6

scan(text="1|2|3|4|5|6 
7|8|9", sep="|",what="")

would return you:

Read 9 items
[1] "1"  "2"  "3"  "4"  "5"  "6 " "7"  "8"  "9"

how can I get 8 items where the 6th item should be 6 \n7 instead of two seperate items?

    How about this:

    strsplit(paste(scan(text="1|2|3|4|5|6
+ 7|8|9", sep="\n", what="character"), collapse="\n"), "\\|")
