[R] JSONlite import problem

[K. Elo]

Hi,

thanks to Duncan and Jeroen to quick replies. I was actually my thinking 
error :) I suppoed 'fromJSON' to cope with a multi-line file or a list, 
but this seems not to be the case. So I first read the file with 
'readLines' into a list and processed all items with 'fromJSON' within a 
for-loop. This worked.

Best,
Kimmo
