Reading text files and readLine

Hi,

I am trying to write a function to read in a whole text file as a single
string ( so I can calculate its "sha1" hash function using package
"digest"). I need a single string containing the whole file, and so far I
was using paste(readLines(fileName), collapse = ""). Unfortunately this
function gives me warnings :

       incomplete final line found by readLines on 'test2.xml'

due to lack of end-of-line character on the end of the file. Is there a way
to suppress this warning? Or another function capable of reading whole text
file into a string?
