Dear All- I have been given some Rcode that was written using a Linux OS, but I use Windows-based R. The person that is giving it to me said that it needs to run on a Linux system. Does anyone have any insight and/or can verify this. I haven't yet obtained the code, so I haven't been able to try it yet. cheers- sherri

If the code uses the system( ) call to directly invoke an OS command, then that code is almost certainly tied down to one operating system. For example, system("date") works fine on Linux, but doesn't on Windows. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/windows-vs.-linux-code-tp22215667p22215776.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
