Hi, I'm trying to use pipes in R. By now, I could launch the linux command "wc" (to count words from a text), but I don't know how to capture the results, say in a vector of chars... Here is the R code I'm trying:
:> f <- pipe("wc", open="w") :> writeLines(c("uno dos tres", "cuatro cinco", "seis"), f) :> close(f) : 3 6 31 The result is just displayed but I couldn't put the result into a R variable. Do you have any comments on this? Thanks, -- Sergio.
