R help - Oct 2008 - How to make the connection between MikTEX and R

Hi:
After a couple of days trying to synchonize or connect MiKTex and R I'm
getting a little frustrated. My knowledge about creating and running batch
files is kind of limited so, I was wondering if someone could explain in plain
english how to do this task. I'm able to run MiKtex by itself and accomplish
what I am trying to do, but I want to be able to use the Sweave function from
within R (or Tinn-R)and generate my dynamic reports from there. I'm running
windows XP and R 2.7.2. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Suppose foo.Rnw is in \a\b and you have placed
MiKTeX in the default place when you installed it
and suppose that when you installed R you did
not prevent it from writing to the reigstry.  Then:

1. Go to the link I gave already, read everything
there, go to the download page and download
batchfiles_0.3-2.zip

2. Unzip that, read the README and
place sweave.bat in \a\b (or anywhere in
your PATH).

3. Press Windows-R to get into Windows console
and type:

cd \a\b
Sweave foo.Rnw
