One of the examples in Rscript.Rd seems mis-formatted, in that the format statement is incomplete: ## Not run: Rscript -e 'date()' -e 'format(Sys.time(), " Both Rscript.Rd in R 2.5.0 and the version at: https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/library/utils/man/Rscript.Rd have Rscript -e 'date()' -e 'format(Sys.time(), "%a %b %d %X %Y")' Do

Greetings, I am creating a standalone executable script using Rscript and have run into problems when I define a new S4 class. Here is a small script that demonstrates my problem: #!/usr/bin/env Rscript # # toy.Rscript -- testing S4 class creation in an Rscript setClass("toy", representation(name = "character", price = "numeric"),

Hi, A user of my `optparse` package discovered a bug in Rscript's parsing of [args]. (https://github.com/trevorld/optparse/issues/24) I've reproduced the bug on my machine including compiling and checking the development version of R. I couldn't find a mention of it in the Bug Tracker or New Features. Can be minimally reproduced on the UNIX command line with following commands:

Hi, I'm trying to run on Windows 7 a scriptfile with Rscript.exe from within Excel 2010 with the following code: Call Shell(rPath & "\Rscript.exe C:\Work\Latest\_Test.R", vbHide) The good news is: the above code works perfectly, but ... If I add white spaces to my map directory, like: Call Shell(rPath & "\Rscript.exe C:\Work\Latest 1\_Test.R", vbHide) In the

Good morning R-help, I have an idiot question: I would like to use getSrcDirectory() and friends to allow me to identify where an R file has been called from when invoked using Rscript. If I understand the documentation correctly, the following example should work: In file test.R: options(keep.source=T) fn<-function(x){x<-x+1} srcDir<-getSrcDirectory(fn) print(srcDir) I

Hi all, this is probably some tricky configuration file problem, but I figure someone here might have come across this in the past: In short, I've been using Rscript to run my scripts, usually successfully. But recently I've run into a strange problem, and the only function that causes an error is "print". I can create a file that contains only a print command, and it causes

Hi R Developers, I have found what I think is a bug in the RScript.exe in version 3.5.0 of R for Windows. When I call Rscript.exe for Version 3.5 of R, it is unable to open the file if the file name or path has a space in it. As an example of what happens, I saved 2 files with the code: cat("What do you get when you multiply 6 * 9?") as C:\foo bar.R and as C:\foo_bar.R When I in a DOS

L.S. In this bug report https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14493#c1 it is mentioned that after moving an R installation one should regenerate the Rscript executable. Is there an easy way to do so (after an R installation has been moved)? I have not found any information in the R installation and administration manual. Many thanks in advance for any pointer. Best wishes,

The loop that echoes the arguments almost always stops too soon. It apparently does that to avoid echoing the "--args" (that had been inserted) when there are no user arguments. However, when there are user arguments, the next element of the 'av' array is the last argument and usually not "--args", although it can be. ?Rscript is a little sketchy: ?--verbose?

Current R release (3.5.2) and devel return a 0 exit status on error, while prior versions returned a non-zero exit status. On Linux and MacOs, the following line returns TRUE for R-3.5.2 and R-devel, and FALSE for R-3.5.1 and R-3.5.0: system2("Rscript", c("-e", shQuote("stop('foo')"))) == 0 I didn't find this in the NEWS, so I believe this is a bug.

Hi, I seem to have a problem when passing named parameters to R via Rscript (R2.5.1, bash shell). As soon as I name elements of a list Rscript generates an error. I will appreciate if someone could point to me a correct way of doing this. Thanks, Vadim ## This works bash-3.2$ Rscript.exe -e 'list(1)' [[1]] [1] 1 # and these do not work bash-3.2$ Rscript.exe -e

Good Morning, I have recently built R version 2.7.0 on a CentOS release 4.6, 64-bit system using the following command: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/r-2.7.0 Everything built fine and works properly except for Rscript which is looking for files in the original build directory instead of the specified install directory. Did I forget to add a flag or is this a bug? TIA, Gregg.

Hello All, It seems weird to me that Rscript does the following thing and enters the R prompt mode. If I change the file name to something that doesn't start with 'size', then Rscript runs normally. Does anybody know what is going on? $ Rscript size.R WARNING: '--file=size.R' value is invalid: ignored > $ Rscript --version R scripting front-end version 51072 -- Tom

Dear all, finally decided to do an Ubuntu upgrade and a new clean R install from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/. However, while trying to install a package from R-forge I encountered problems, involving error messages saying "Rscript execution error: No such file or directory" (see below). The same procedure works on Ubuntu 11.04 running R 2.12.1-1 from the Ubuntu

I think that's my first true question (rather than answer) to R-help. As R has, for a long time, become my primary scripting and programming language, I'm prefering at times to write Rscript files instead of shell scripts, notably when R has nice ways to do some of the things. On a standard standalone platform with standard R, I would start such a script with

Dear R-devel members, recently, I ran into the following error message (R-devel 2018-01-31): 'Rscript' should not be used without a path -- see par. 1.6 of the manual I would like to know more about it, why is it required to run Rscript with a path, and where is that par. 1.6 of the manual. I get this error message during Travis r-devel build of my package for generating makefiles. I

Hello, I have found what I believe to be a bug in the Linux version of the Rscript binary. Under Windows (official 64-bit 3.5.1 R distribution running on an up-to-date Win10), I can do the following (e.g. under powershell): PS H:\Users\Cesko> Rscript -e 'ls() >> ls()' character(0) character(0) which works as I expect: I am running Rscript with two arguments, namely (1)

Rscript eats up the last argument when reporting the command it runs: $ Rscript --verbose "/tmp/test.R" one two three running '/usr/local/lib/R-devel/lib/R/bin/R --slave --no-restore --file=/tmp/test.R --args one two' With the patch below, I get the following: $ Rscript --verbose "/tmp/test.R" one two three running '/usr/local/lib/R-devel/lib/R/bin/R --slave
