R help - Jan 2006 - Execute a list of R instructions from a file

Hello, I want to do the following: First, generate an R code in a file
from an external program, then send the name of the file to R using
sockets, finally let R to open that file and to execute the R code.
I just wanted to know if there is any function in R that reads a file
an executes the R code inside it.

Something like:
file.txt:
state <- c("tas", "sa",  "qld",
"nsw", "nsw", "nt",  "wa", 
"wa", "qld", "vic")

R execution:
>readAndExecute(file.txt)
Thanks
Pau.

source("file.txt")

or even:

source("http://my.server.com/my/r/commands")
