I've been playing with R for a while using emacs ESS. I've started to
like it a
lot ( the beautiful S language was unknown to me before I dumped into R)
I want to make some scripts to automate the display of some statistics
on web pages. I started to look for ways of using R in a scripting
environment
but I could not find information on this. Is there a way to call R with
command prompt arguments, like a file with a session?
Looking at the code I saw in file main.c something that lead me to
believe that
there must be a way to do it
[...]
/* File Input/Output */
int R_Interactive = 1; /* Interactive? */
int R_Quiet = 0; /* Be Quiet */
[...]
Can someone help me on that? Thanks in advance.
Oh! .... and thanks a lot to everybody that made R!

Yes, you simply have to redirect the input of R from stdin to a file, i.e., R [--save|--no-save] < cmdfile reads the commands in cmdfile as if they were typed at the prompt. You have to specify --save or --no-save, stating wether the environment should be saved to the .RData file upon exiting.

(I'm using the version compiled by Guido Masarotto on an NT4 machine). I'v tried, but the screen flashes for a second, and nothing happens. My cmdfile is very simple: x <- rnorm(100) dump("x","x.out") q() The "x.out" file is NOT created. I'v tried the --save and --no-save, but result is the same. Source-ing the same cmdfile works as expected. When trying with Rsept.exe, I get the message "erno was 1411".

But if you want to support Win32s, you're more or less stuck with the current model. Another thing: if you want the windowed text interface (scrollbars!) launched from console program, I suspect you get a dangling "DOS-box". I've only seen link-time solutions to that one. So it's probably easier just to make two different .exe files... -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
