In a continuing effort to implement some of the suggestions in the "Scripting for R..." thread, I have been looking at system(), which does almost what is needed, except that: system() looks like it waits for EOF and then dumps everything in the pipe to stdout or /dev/null. Have I missed a command that will wait for EOL and use this as stdin - I think with Rstd_ReadConsole()? Thanks for any suggestions.
