R help - May 2007 - object getConnection

Hi,

I use the functions socketConnections() and getConnection()
which are working fine. Thanks to the authors.

After opening nicely some socketConnection,
getConnection(3) returns something like :
description         class   mode  text    opened   can read  can write
"->127.0.0.1:7496" "socket" "wb"
"binary" "opened"   "yes"    "yes"

I apologize in advance for this probably simple question,
but how is it possible to get/read the different fields ?
For example, how to get the "description" field ?

I tried a number of things ... but alas not the right one.

Thanks

Will this work for you:

> x <- file('/tempxx.txt',open='r')
> x
  description         class          mode          text        opened
can read     can write
"/tempxx.txt"        "file"           "r"       
"text"
"opened"         "yes"         
"no"
> summary(x)
$description
[1] "/tempxx.txt"

$class
[1] "file"

$mode
[1] "r"

$text
[1] "text"

$opened
[1] "opened"

$`can read`
[1] "yes"

$`can write`
[1] "no"
