Subject: [R] Keyboard input into functions

Hi,

Does anybody know if it is possible to have keyboard input into 
functions? Kind of like 'scanf()' in C.

I want to write a function that asks me what to put in certain 
variables.


Thanks,
Neil

Yes, but a nearer equivalent to scanf in C is scan() which reads from the 
keyboard by default.
