Hi,

Let's say that I have a scalar character object called tmp which stores 
the entire content of an ASCII file. Is there a function that would 
process tmp the same way read.table() would process the content of the 
original ASCII file?

The content of tmp will come from a database, and I want to extract the 
data without writing and reading to disk or without asking the database 
to transform the file content into a table.

Thank you

Sebastien
