That's amazing! Thank you!!! One follow up question, if that's OK?
If, instead of using hard-coded CSV, I read the CSV into a variable first, then it fails again with a parse error. Code below. So, if I read the CSV into a variable, do I need an additional wrapper method? Seems like it should still work. Thanks in advance for your reply. -M String inputIris = "5.1,3.5,1.4,0.2,setosa\n" + "4.9,3,1.4,0.2,setosa\n" + "4.7,3.2,1.3,0.2,setosa\n" + "4.6,3.1,1.5,0.2,setosa\n" + "5,3.6,1.4,0.2,setosa\n" + "5.4,3.9,1.7,0.4,setosa\n" + "4.6,3.4,1.4,0.3,setosa"; REXP irisData =rConnection.eval( "read.csv(textConnection(" + inputIris + "), header = FALSE)"); Sent from [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com), Swiss-based encrypted email. > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: Re: [Rd] How to create a table structure in Java code? > Local Time: October 26, 2017 7:45 AM > UTC Time: October 26, 2017 11:45 AM > From: rh...@eoos.dds.nl > To: r-devel@r-project.org > > I suspect that you are looking for something like: > > read.csv(textConnection( > "5.1,3.5,1.4,0.2,setosa > 4.9,3,1.4,0.2,setosa > 4.7,3.2,1.3,0.2,setosa > 4.6,3.1,1.5,0.2,setosa > 5,3.6,1.4,0.2,setosa" > ), header = FALSE) > > HTH, > Jan > > On 25-10-17 12:50, Morkus via R-devel wrote: > >> Hi all, >> Using RConsole, it's easy to get data from the database that you can use in >> an R Command.
