[R] User input from keyboard

2006-08-04 Thread chiya sharma
Dear All,

 Can anybody tell me the syntax for User input from keyboard in R. I mean
to say that if I run the program it should ask Please enter the date at
the begining of the program. I am using R-2.2.1 for windows.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Regards,
Chiya

(that scans one number: use readLines(n=1) to get a string).

But readline() is probably easier.
