Hi, I'm trying to use the pipe function to read data from another process on my server.
Here is the code I have tried. con <- pipe("/var/matlab/scripts/stream.pl") while(con_read <- readLines(con)) { print(con_read) } Problem is that the data from the perl script just keeps appending to con_read and it never gets to the print function. Which makes sense, but I would like to be able to perform calculations on con_read, while the script continues to read from the perl script. Any help is appreciated. -Joe ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
