You can also ask the questioner to use the dput
function which dumps any data structure in a way that can be just copy-pasted into R. e.g.
> zz
a b c
1 1 11 foo
2 2 12 bar
3 3 13 baz
4 4 14 bar
5 5 15 foo
> dput(zz)
structure(list(a = 1:5, b = 11:15, c = structure(c(3L, 1L, 2L,
1L, 3L), .Label = c("bar", "baz", "foo"), class = "factor")), .Names = c("a",
"b", "c"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -5L))
> xx <- structure(list(a = 1:5, b = 11:15, c = structure(c(3L, 1L, 2L,
+ 1L, 3L), .Label = c("bar", "baz", "foo"), class = "factor")), .Names = c("a",
+ "b", "c"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -5L))
> xx
a b c
1 1 11 foo
2 2 12 bar
3 3 13 baz
4 4 14 bar
5 5 15 foo
