Both suggestions generate similar errors to those of the original

students.
You are teaching them about R or about Sweave? You are setting up code
that is designed to run at an open console session, but submitting it
to a batch process.

After reading that I am wondering if you could set up a textConnection
first and then scan from that?
> con <- textConnection("64 62 66 65 62\n69 72 72 70")
> scan(file=con)
Read 9 items
[1] 64 62 66 65 62 69 72 72 70

I am introducing the scan() function to my class. Consider the
following file (Scanexamp.Rnw )
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\begin{document}
<<>>=
height = scan()
64 62 66 65 62
69 72 72 70
Have you considered adding an empty line or an ";" after the
closing paren of scan? (At the console the semi-colon gambit has
the desired effect while the empty line strategy fails.)
part = scan(what = character(0))
"Soprano" "Soprano" "Soprano"
"Alto" "Alto" "Tenor"
"Tenor" "Bass" "Bass"
sh = data.frame(height, part)
sh
@
\end{document}
Now what happens when I attempt to Sweave this is
> Sweave("scanexamp.Rnw")
Writing to file scanexamp.tex
Processing code chunks ...
1 : echo term verbatim
Error: chunk 1
Error in parse(text = chunk) : unexpected numeric constant in:
"height = scan()
64 62"

Comments would be appreciated. (And thanks to Ross Darnell for a
lot of help on another list.)
