First, I compliment you all for such a useful project as R. Suggestion: If read.table() could take input from a character string, then one could write
raw= " x y z 1 2 3 4 5 6 " df = read.table(raw,head=TRUE) Of course, one can cat() to write raw into a temporary file, and read.table() from that file. However, direct reading might be a good option? Hope this is useful. Cordially Giles Crane [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
