R help - Jul 2011 - Taking inputs from the user

Hi,

I am currently a new user in R and was working on the randomForest package. I am
trying to predict price points using this statistical package. The issue is that
I need to setup a tool so that I can give it to Sales Executive who can plug in
the necessary variables and get the output. Is there a way to do that ?? They
don't have R on their systems and I doubt they are going to install it.

Need urgent help on this.

Thanks,
Ankur

Give them an Excel spreadsheet that they can fill in the values.  They
can then send the spreadsheet to you can you can have your R script
read the information from it and send it back.  You did not mention
how they are supposed to"get the output".  Do you want to setup a
central server that can receive the email, run the script and then
send back the results?
