See ?pipe. You can pipe input to a program you run that way.

Hi I was wondering if there was a way to run system when there is e.g. a C program which is not totally command-line driven. That is, I have a C program which requires manual input of options into the shell during the run. I would like to run this program from R and as far as I have seen system() does not handle manual options (?). Is there thus a way to use these C programs anyway through R (i.e. without touching the C programs and fixing the problem in R)?
I think you mean 'using R".
