## Convert a Text to a Table

### Description

Convert a text to a table by using complete columns of spaces (or any other separator) as delimiting point.

### Usage

    FixToTable(txt, sep = " ", delim = "\t", trim = TRUE, header = TRUE)

### Arguments

`txt` | the text to be partitioned. Works best, if txt is a matrix.
`sep` | the separator to use. Will frequently be " ".
`delim` | the new delimiter to insert. (default tab)
`trim` | logical. Should the separated text be trimmed from whitespace? Defaults to TRUE.
`header` | logical. Should the first line be interpreted as header?

### Details

Only a complete appearance of the separator character in the same position over all rows will be accepted as column delimiter.

### Value

a matrix of the separated text.
