R help - Jun 2004 - a doubt

Hello all,

 

I'm working with different models that where implemented in DOS system each
one, but for doing comparisons between them I require to put some of the results
in an unified data form for all the models. I wonder if some of you have the
knowledge of one function in R that enable me the invocation of DOS execution
files inside the R application to allow me doing an R interface with such
programs, i.e. some function like the existed 'dos()' function in
Matlab, which execute '.exe' files from DOS, after have created the
corresponding specification file in plain format.

 

In advance, many thanks.

 

Saludos,

?system
?shell (under Windows, which we must guess you are using if `DOS' means 
MS-DOS).

Please use an informative subject line.

Hello again,

 

In a previous message I request your help, but I don't have been clear in my
problem. Specifically, I'm trying to create an interface in R for the
X-12-ARIMA and TRAMO SEATS, for the versions that run in MS-DOS. This problem
awake in me the interest for make interfaces to comparing some Bayesian models
for classification that where implemented in MS-DOS to. The question for you is
if you know about the existence of an R function that allows me to run -in
Windows- executable files in MS-DOS from the R command window.

 

The function 'dos' in Matlab that I have mention in the previous message
allows to run '.exe' programs for a specific directory.

 

Many thanks.      

 

Saludos,
