Dear R experts This probably seems very easy to you guys, but I'm a beginner and would be really glad if someone helped me with this: I am trying to automate the execution of an R script (let's call it "myscript.R") by passing a variable from a bash script to myscript.R. I know I can use the command Rscript, but I don't know how to declare in bash which variable will be

Is there a fuction that will allow me to retrun the filename for a script from within that script. fir instance If I have a script "myscript.r": FileName<-unknown.fucntion() print(FileName) and run it source("myscript.r") will return "myscript.r" Thanks Nevil Amos [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R-users! Is there a way to obtain the name of the executed myscript.r, i.e. when cmd> rscript myscript.r is executed? (The name of the script in this case is "myscript.r") Here is the explanation of why I would like to get that: Why: I have prepared a set of scripts (decompose_data.r, plot_with_higher_resolution.r, plot_3D.r, etc.) placed in a root directory at one place. I

I am working on a Windows XP machine with R 2.10.1 and a recent installation of MiKTeX 2.8. I use LyX (www.lyx.org) to write documents and have it set up to run Sweave, Stangle, and make the PDF through R using a batch script and a MakeSweave.R file. This system worked just fine until I ran some MiKTeX updates yesterday. This is a bit embarrassing as I helped produce a "How-to" guide to

Please, help with announcing an error from Rterm: I am calling R from an Excel VBA and noticed that if there is an error nothing conspicuous happens. I would like just a popup window when R cannot finish cleanly. The "ret " value returned from Shell is useless in determining what happened.

Hi Community, I have a question about how to pass command line parameters to R script running in the batch mode. The problem is: there is a banch of data files which are to be processed by R script called from a web-server, i.e. in the batch mode. The web server generates data files and passes their names calling 'R CMD BATCH' one by one for every file. Now the question is how to

Hi, I must seek a favour regarding of R project, can we make an application out of R. I mean a small application that automatically runs and do the estimation automatically.

Dear all I am running in a problem when trying to run R from Windows command line. I am runnning Windows Vista, R-2.10.1. I have a script I would like to run remotely from another program. As it did not work, I thought I would test the script from the Windows command line which highlighted a problem. When I open the command line and type R at the prompt (or any other variant (R CMD BATCH,

Hello and sorry to bother. Please help. I searched the archives but could not find out why --args is being ignored on Windows 2000. I try R CMD BATCH --slave 11.R 11.Rout --args "12" and 11.R has x=commandArgs(trail=T) print(x) a=x[length(x)] write.csv(a,file="13.out") q("no") the argument is not passed to the R process. 11.Rout only shows processing time and

Apologies for asking about this, but I don't quite understand how this works after looking through the FAQ and the Help archives. Let's say I want to pass "1000" as an argument to R. I did the following: >R CMD BATCH --1000 infile outfile When I do print( commandArgs() ), I see [1] ".../R.bin" "--restore" [3] "--save"

I run a batch file with the following command in Windows XP: C:\R\R-2.12.1\bin\Rterm.exe --no-save --no-restore <C:\users\me\file.R> C:\users\me\file.out 2>&1 Is there any way to get only the output of R in file.out, without getting all the code from file.R too? Any help greatly appreciated, Mikkel

I was surprised by this: R --interactive -e 'interactive()' bash-3.2$ R -q -e 'interactive()' --interactive > interactive() [1] FALSE > as the command options document says that --interactive should force interactive=TRUE: " When *R* is run in a terminal (via |Rterm.exe| on Windows), it assumes that it is interactive if ?stdin? is connected to a (pseudo-)terminal

Hiya, I have read the FAQ for windows and read point 2.10. I setup a dos batch file which contains the following line: C:\progra~1\R\rw2001\bin\Rterm.exe --vanilla I then tried: R CMD BATCH --argument myscript.R result.out then it started R. I thought by running R CMD BATCH executes R non-interactively. I am working on a Windows XP. I tried it on a Mac OSX and that worked fine. So I'm not

I am trying to concatenate 2 datasets that don't have exactly the same column. In SAS I did: data summary; set agency prop; run; No problem in R I get error message summary <-rbind(agency,prop) Error in match.names(clabs, names(xi)) : names do not match previous names But when I use rbin.fill, that overwrites the second file w/ first one. Is there a way to replicate the sas process

FYI, via a bug report of one of my packages, I discovered that the following cases will hang Rterm when using TAB completion: CASE #1: Adding an empty default function for tail() causes Rterm on Windows to hang if one press TAB at the prompt: % Rterm -vanilla > tail.default <- function(...) {} > [PRESS TAB] Error in specialOpLocs(text) : (list) object cannot be coerced to type

In the rgdal package, configure.ac has had : ${LDFLAGS=`"${RBIN}" CMD config LDFLAGS`} at least since 2012, so picking up LDFLAGS known to the R version installed. Very recently, users installing rgdal from source with R installed from RPM are seeing problems, such as those reported in this thread: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-geo/2020-June/028251.html The diagnosis by

I have the following script that when executed, consumes memory and makes the system inaccessible. All process are halted. First, I don't understand what is wrong with the script Secondly, I'm surprised that Linux allows this to run unchecked to the detriment of the entire system. ---- SCRIPT ----- #!/bin/sh FTP="/usr/bin/ftp" # VMID="asystem.ourcompany.com"
