Hi,
Is there a way to create "memory connections" in R which are valid
connections to read.table (and associated function)? By saying "memory
connection" I refer to something like a connection created from a simple
character object (of length 1) - instead of having the content in a
physical file just have it in an ordinary R object. More or less the
equivalent to the std::istringstream class in C++.
I believe you are looking for 'text connections': see the 'text'
argument to read.table() and ?textConnection.
