Hi,
i'm using Perl to control R under Windows via the Win32::OLE module and
R's (D)COM server. This works fine, if i send commands and/or simple
data structures to R. I am also able to get matrix-shaped return values
into my Perl program, like this
# snip ----------------------------------------------------
my $R = Win32::OLE->new('StatConnectorSrv.StatConnector');
$R->Init('R');
my $matrix =
$R->Evaluate('matrix(c(1,"a",2,"b",3,"c"),2,3)');
# ---------------------------------------------------- snap
What i did not achieve is to catch ALL the output from R which goes
normally to the console window.
# this won't collect R's summary formatting as a string ------
my $summary = $R->Evaluate('summary(c(1,2,3))');
# ------------------------------------------------------------
I guess i have to figure out how to use the '"console" device
(Active X
control)',
and maybe use $R->SetCharacterOutputDevice() in Perl but i was neither
getting this to work nor was i able to find the right spot containing
this information.
Does someone have a clue?
Thanks in advance,
Stefan
