Answer 1

char_vector <- readLines(filename)

 txt <- "Today is a good
 day, but I feel very tired. It seems like it is
 going to rain pretty soon."

 readLines(textConnection(txt) )
#   ---- teh screen output of three distinct character elements
[1] "Today is a good"                                
[2] "day, but I feel very tired. It seems like it is"
[3] "going to rain pretty soon."                    

char_vector <- readLines(textConnection(txt))

char_vector[1]
#[1] "Today is a good"
