similar to: Rscript Bug Report (improper parsing of [args])

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?

Hi, people. I met a little problem for which someone might have a solution. Let's say I have an executable file (named "pp.R") with this contents: #!/usr/bin/Rscript options(echo=TRUE) a <- 1 Sys.sleep(3) a <- 2 If I execute "./pp.R" at the shell prompt, the output shows the timely progress of the script as expected. If I use "./pp.R | tee

I have the following script (also attached): #!/usr/bin/Rscript spec=matrix(c( 'verbose', 'v', 1, "integer", 'help' , 'h', 0, "logical" ),ncol=4, byrow=TRUE) spec.dim=dim(spec) spec.opt.long=spec[,1] spec.opt.short=spec[,2] spec.opt.l <- spec.dim[1] infile <- "test.dat" args=commandArgs(TRUE); l=length(args) self =

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"),

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

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

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

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

Dear all, I am trying to use multiple version of R unpacked from CRAN deb files. It does work successfully, except for some packages installation, whether Rscript has been used. I have configured alternatives and switch R environments without any problem and can install most of the packages. '====================================================== $ update-alternatives --display R R - auto

Hi We've found that when using parse_args(..., positional_arguments=FALSE), it is permissible to invoke our script with either "--myfoo=bar" or "--myfoo bar"; that is, whether or not the equals sign is present makes no difference, and in fact both usage forms are demonstrated in the optparse vignette. However, we've found that when using parse_args(...,

Thanks Tomas. I confirm the quick workaround works for me in the DOS prompt, and when having a shortcut to RScript in SendTo, and when used in the Task Scheduler. I have not tested the R-devel version, due to my unfamiliarity with installing from source code. -----Original Message----- From: Tomas Kalibera [mailto:tomas.kalibera at gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2018 6:34 AM To: Kerry

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

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\\\'\\)')

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

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

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

Hi, I was trying to use the autorun feature of rspec but noticed that when I run the command to kick off the ruby scripts it picks up the options that I give to the command. ''myRubyBin -j optionValue'' This then fails with this error, /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/optparse.rb:1448:in `complete'' : invalid option: -j ( OptionParser::InvalidOption ) from

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
