R help - Jun 2012 - Rename output file in Swaeve and Tex

HI, 

I am working on R and Latex.

R CMD Sweave Test.Rnw  (this generates Rnw.Tex file )

R CMD pdflatex Test.tex  (It generated Test.pdf)

Is there any way to change the name of of output file (Test.pdf).  I want it
to pass the output file name as parameter. 

R CMD Sweave Test.Rnw  Output_File

R CMD pdflatex Output_File.tex 

So output file name will be Output_File.pdf 

Regards

I do not think it is possible with the 'R CMD Sweave' interface, but
you can always use the 'R -e' approach, e.g. R -e
'Sweave("foo.Rnw");
file.rename("foo.tex", "foo-bar.tex");
tools::texi2dvi('foo-bar.tex')'
(not tested, but idea is there)

To make this more natural, you can try the knitr package which allows
you to specify the output filename, e.g. library(knitr);
knit('foo.Rnw', output = 'foo-bar.tex')
