Your expectations of response time are out of line for a mailing list. The
subject of your question might or might not be appropriate here depending on
how portable you want the solution to be.
Your dependence on operating-system-specific features (ctrl-d as eof) and
expectation that such features will allow you to squeeze multiple files into a
single file (they usually don't) are also problems. You also didn't supply the
output of sessionInfo so we don't even know your environment. Perhaps a
(re)read of the posting guide is in order?
One simple approach would be to write the tables to temporary files that your R
script would delete after reading. You could then simply pass the names of the
files in your stdin.
If you are bound and determined to put the data in one stream, you will
probably need to wrap it in some higher-level format and split the tables out
of it. One option there would be XML. Alternatively, you could define your own
protocol, read all the data in with readLines, and parse it out yourself.
