Huhu,

Thank you for all you guys. readline works.

I hope R can be more and more powerful to deal with strings.
Strings and power come from regular expressions, check out ?regexpr.

cheers,
Paul

Thank you for your reply.

My objective is simple. Assume  I have a constant vector, say Vector. in
C++ code, I want to do:


int index;
cout<<"Please enter the index of the element you want to look at Vector
:";
cin>>index
cout<<Vector[index]


I want every user to be able to do this.

As I understand, scan can only read data from a fixed file. Can I just
get the input from the shell directly?


Isn't that what the file argument of ?scan says?  I think?

    file: the name of a file to read data values from.  If the
          specified file is ‘""’, then input is taken from the keyboard
          (or whatever ‘stdin()’ reads if input is redirected or R is
          embedded).


I think the required function is readline which prompts for user input.

?readline


Great, didn't know that one.  The example in ?readline is hilarious.
