Hi, am not sure if this is the best platform to ask this question, so please excuse it if it's tangential. I am writing an R function that also involves some brief interfacing with SCILAB. I am doing this via the terminal in LINUX, using the system() command. I have an .sce file that I wish to execute. Would anyone be able to help with the syntax for this? Right now I have: system("scilab -f x.sce") but that doesn't seem to be working. The system() part is working fine, but "scilab -f x.sce" seems to be the wrong syntax to execute a SCILAB file. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
