[R] Problem Writeing a pipe using R (stdin is consumed)

[Alberto Gobbi]

Thanks for the answer!
However what I would like to ba able to do is something like:
perl -e 'print "1 2\n\2 2\n";'  |  R --silent commandFile

and commandFile would contain something like:
t<-read.table(file("t"), sep=" ")
print(t*2)

This would need read.table to get the original stdin() and the commands to be read from a file.

The idea with the named pipe does not work either for the same reasons.

Thanks again,
Alberto
