R help - Sep 2010 - readLines and writeLines

Hi,

I have a socket connection where I do
-socketConnection
-writeLines
and then wait for the server to send data through the socket. so I have to wait
on a readLines.But when I say
str<-readLines(con) it executes immediately and str gets nothing.what do i do
for this?

Have you looked at the penultimate example on the connections help page?
