R help - Nov 2008 - R code to generate Sweave input ? Sweave squared ?

Dirk,

 

I came upon your message below in searching for a different Sweave topic.
Have you pursued this?  I'm new to R (9 months).  Recently have been doing
data analysis in R and have started pondering the same question, but don't
have any ideas yet. I did do something related to this in SAS, the main
purpose of which was to build a standardized file of statistical results to
be transferred to Word tables.

 

Thanks.

For some recurrent tasks, I would like to programmatically generate input
for
Sweave.  While I could do that with many languages, in particular some
starting with the letter P, I wouldn't mind advancing two more positions in
the alphabet and use R itself to generate input for Sweave.  
 
In other words I want to write R code that can write Rnw input files which
will be turned into R code ... that ends up as dvi/pdf output.
 
Has anybody done this before? Are there any frameworks to (re-)use ?
 
Regards,  Dirk

Hi,

Your idea reminds me of an example in the documentation of the brew package,
featuring the generation of a template. You might want to check it out.
