R help - Feb 2010 - how to execute R script piece by piece on SSH terminal

hi, I am new to Linux and R environment. I have a existing R script. I
wonder how to open my R script on Linux platform and execute selected
written R command?

thanks

At the very simplest level, you can open the R script in a text editor.
Then start R at the command line in the terminal by typing
R
and then copy and paste the desired lines from the text file into the
terminal.

There are plenty of more elegant and complex solutions, but that
one is easy and will work.

Hello,
if You run R in terminal, You can type R to start the R software, then use 
command source("/path/to/your/script") to load the script and then You
call
functions from the script as usual. Optionally, You can move to the directory 
with script with command setwd("/path/to/the/directory"). Or, I would 
recommend to install Rkward (http://rkward.sourceforge.net/), what is 
excellent graphical user interface for R.
Best regards,
