Scanning data files line-by-line

Hi all, is there a way to read a data file into R line-by-line, akin to what fscanf does in C, say? It seems that "scan" and "read.table" both read the entire data file in at once, whereas "readLines" allows one to read a file partially, but doesn't quite read line-by-line either.
That's what readLines(con, n=1) is supposed to do; in what way does it not quite work? Duncan
