R help - Oct 2012 - input arguments in a file into rscript

dear listers,

with "rscript", i know how to feed arguments by command line directly,
e.g. "Rscript test.r 10 20". however, if i saved all arguments in a
file, how do i make rscript to take arguments in this file?  "Rscript
test.r < input.txt" doesn't seem to work for me.
(ps: i am using windows)

thanks so much!

You should be able to read them from the file, e.g.

readLines("input.txt")

will get all the lines from that file.  I expected stdin() to work with 
the redirection, but it doesn't appear to work in Windows.  Not sure if 
that's a bug or not...
