[GRASS-user] R/GRASS - Using GRASS output tables in R

[Tim Besser]

Dear GRASS-users,

I think my upcoming question is quiet basic but however I could not find 
a solution on my own so far. In GRASS you can export output tables via 
">" to an external file. As I'm writing a script for data analysis in R 
using spgrass6-package I'd like also to get the table (for example from 
r.statistics, method=distribution) which is created in GRASS also as a 
table or at least as single numerical values in R.

I tried my best with the "intern=T" command in R to write the output to 
an R-object. That worked...However the values were then of class 
"character". So what I did was using strsplit and in this way cutting 
the object and using as.numerical. In the following step I created a 
table. However, it's not very straight-forward and I am sure that there 
is a "one command"-solution.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Cheers,
Tim
