Dear fellow R users,
I would very much like to see an example of read/write connection (open =
"r+" ) for e.g. pipe() or any other R connection.
I have a standalone program which accepts input from stdin, performs some
processing and returns the results on stdout. Is it possible at all to open
a connection to that program, write to it (i.e. to stdin of that process)
and read back the results ?
As a silly example, imagine the following use of the Unix function head:
zz <- pipe(" head ", open ="r+");
cat(rnorm(10), file = zz);
Error in cat(rnorm(10), file = zz) : cannot write to this connection
While I am not surprised that this does not work, I would love to know a
solution to this general problem.
Thanks
Markus
