Thank you Sir but is there a way that it does not get open each time? I mean following line creates a new text connection each time so how to avoid it or reuse an open connection? line.raw <- textConnection(readLines( reader.socket, n = 1, ok = TRUE)); I tried something line this also: mydataframe <- read.table (socket, sep=","); but does not work says no input lines. this also. mydataframe <- read.table (readLine(socket), sep=","); what is the best method of doing something like this? I am getting totally lost between textConnection, socket and getConnection. Now I am trying to get the connection that was opened and reuse it but then how do I get connection that was previously opened when running code - since getConnection() requires a number and for that I need to know the number of my previously opened connection. So how do I get the number of textConnection that I open? Sir any pointers would greatly help.
