When I try to answer a question in Stack Overflow about R, a good part of my time is spent trying to rebuild the data given as example (unless the question author has been nice enough to provide them as R code).

So my question is, if somebody just asks a question and gives his sample data frame the following way :

a  b   c
1 11 foo
2 12 bar
3 13 baz
4 14 bar
5 15 foo

Do you have a tip or a function to import this easily into an R session, without having to type the entire data.frame() instruction ?

Thanks in advance for any hint !

PS : sorry if the term "query" is not really nice in my question title, but it seems you can't use the word "question" in a question title in Stack overflow :-)
