I'm assuming you are using Rscript (please provide self-contained
examples when posting) in which case you could look for the element in
(base|R.utils)::commandArgs() that begin with the string "--file=" -
the
rest is the file name. See the asValues= parameter in
help("commandArgs", package="R.utils") for a nice way to get
the parameter.
For an invocation of the form R < foo.R you'd need to inspect your
system's process table (so don't do that).
Hope this helps.
