How can I run something like source("filename") from the Unix command
line?
Maybe somthing like ./R CMD source("filename") - this does not work.
I need to run an R source code file with a command from the Unix command
line.
assuming that I have R installed on my system.
Thank you all
Amir.

For the time being, think echo 'source("filename")' | R [options], or cat filename | R> > Thank you all > Amir. > >-- Roger Bivand Economic Geography Section, Department of Economics, Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration, Helleveien 30, N-5045 Bergen, Norway. voice: +47 55 95 93 55; fax +47 55 95 95 43 e-mail: Roger.Bivand at nhh.no
See the previous reply, but also if you want to run a shell script and
need to pass arguments like file names or dir names or anything else,
you cane you the following (${1} -- 1st argument to the shell script,
${2} -- second etc):
#!/bin/sh
echo 'a="${1}";b="${2}";
source("codeWith_a_and_b.R")" | R --vanilla --quiet
The from shell (e.g. to process smth in this dir, a, with b=2):
./thisScript `pwd` 2
