I figured out how to use quotes and parentheses when using Rscript -e (on a bash shell): Rscript -e write\(1,\"a.txt\"\) --> Question 1: why do the parentheses need to be escaped in the shell? (More a shell than an R question) Then I figured out how to use quotes and parentheses when calling Rscript through system: system('Rscript -e write\\(1,\\\'a.txt\\\'\\)')

Dear R-users, Is there a way I can prevent global variables to be visible within my functions? Sebastien
