[R] Piping commands from Kate to R in xterm (Linux)

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I don't know if this quaifies as an R question, but it relates to using R.

I use R under Linux and use Kate as my script editor. I would like to be 
able to pipe the selected block to an R instance which is in an xterm 
session (not the console in Kate!).

Is it possible to configure Kate that it sends the selection to a pipe 
which can be read from R (like in vim and eclipse)?

Has anybody done something like this with Kate?

Thanks a lot for your help,

Rainer
