Sure, for reading you can use readLines. I have no idea what you mean by "recognise", but let's say if you wanted to use read.table, it would be read.table(readLines(n=1)) Of course, in R there is an even more convenient method far that ;) read.table(file.choose()) Cheers, Simon ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
