R: Quickly paste data into an R source file and read it with function textConnection

textConnection() can be used to read data that is stored in an R source file rather than an external file or URL.

textConnection() returns a connection object.

txtCon <- textConnection("1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21")
scanned <- scan(txtCon)
# Read 8 items

print(scanned)
# [1]  1  1  2  3  5  8 13 21
