I am trying to read following data in R. I could find a code written for numpy but there was not any for R.
According to the link: "After skipping the first three lines, each following 12 lines contains one row of the total 2D array. It's concatenated integers of three digits each. Reading ASCII in R needs a separator keyword, but I don't have a separator here.Any help would be really appreciated.

Edited: I manipulated original data. First I have removed the first three lines using "sed '1,3d' -i file.txt" which is not that necessary. Second, I have removed the first blank column to have a consistent 3-integer separator by "sed -i 's/^ *//g' file.txt". Then, According to Andrew Gustar, I have tried read.fwf. Now, it reads data column-wise whereas I want them to be read every three data as an input. BTW, output is only one column.
data=read.fwf(fils[1],skip = 0,widths = 3,
comment.char = "l")
It is part of the output:
head(data)
V1
1 166
2 260
3 201
4 246
5 249
6 117
They have two integers long while it should be 3
