That's amazing! Thank you!!!

One follow up question, if that's OK?

If, instead of using hard-coded CSV, I read the CSV into a variable first, then it fails again with a parse error.

Code below.

So, if I read the CSV into a variable, do I need an additional wrapper method?

Seems like it should still work.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

String inputIris = "5.1,3.5,1.4,0.2,setosa\n" +
"4.9,3,1.4,0.2,setosa\n" +
"4.7,3.2,1.3,0.2,setosa\n" +
"4.6,3.1,1.5,0.2,setosa\n" +
"5,3.6,1.4,0.2,setosa\n" +
"5.4,3.9,1.7,0.4,setosa\n" +
"4.6,3.4,1.4,0.3,setosa";

REXP irisData =rConnection.eval(
"read.csv(textConnection(" + inputIris + "), header = FALSE)");
