My problems are that R seems to be tied to the line numbers on which data
is found and that the scan function doesn't remember where it last was...
Is there some C-like fopen/fread construct that I am missing?

The use of connections could be something worth being tried.

The command 'readLines' reads lines from a connection (and in this sense
'remembers' where it last was...)

try 

help(file)
help(readLines)


Hopin' it helps,



Laurent
