similar to: how to run a R program with input arguments

I was on vacation the last week and wrote some code to run a 500-day correlation between the Nasdaq tracking stock (QQQ) and 191 currency pairs for 500 days. The initial run took 9 hours(!) and I'd like to make it faster. So, I'm including my code below, in hopes that somebody will be able to figure out how to make it faster, either through parallelisation, or by making changes. I've

Hi, I have a bunch of R scripts which have the hash bang !/usr/bin/env Rscript and I typically run these scripts by passing in some parameters like this: ./nameOfRScript arg1 arg2 ... I know Rscript has the option to run in --vanilla. Where exactly do I insert the --vanilla option? When I do something like this: ./nameOfRScript --vanilla arg1 arg2 ... And I try to access the commandArgs,

Hi, $ cat commandArgs.R args=commandArgs(trailingOnly=TRUE) args[1]+10 I have the above code. But the following command line gives me an error. I am wondering what is the correct way to convert a string to a vector? $ Rscript commandArgs.R 1:3 > args=commandArgs(trailingOnly=TRUE) > args[1]+10 Error in args[1] + 10 : non-numeric argument to binary operator Execution halted Regards, Peng

Hello, WRE contains the following information about the "exec" subdirectory of a package : "Subdirectory exec could contain additional executables the package needs, typically scripts for interpreters such as the shell, Perl, or Tcl. This mechanism is currently used only by a very few packages, and still experimental." I think it would be useful to expand "very

Hola. Tengo un script con la siguiente estructura. #!/usr/bin/env Rscript args = commandArgs(trailingOnly=TRUE) source("carga-datos.R") source("modelo.R") y quiero llamar a mi script desde consola con Rscript --vanilla miscript.R datos1.csv De forma que se guarde como argumento el nombre del fichero que quiero cargar y se pase a al script carga-datos.R. El problema es

dear R experts--- I am experimenting with multicore processing, so far with pretty disappointing results. Here is my simple example: A <- 100000 randvalues <- abs(rnorm(A)) minfn <- function( x, i ) { log(abs(x))+x^3+i/A+randvalues[i] } ?## an arbitrary function ARGV <- commandArgs(trailingOnly=TRUE) if (ARGV[1] == "do-onecore") { ?library(foreach) ?discard <-

I have examined the documentation for batch mode use of R: R CMD BATCH [options] infile [outfile] The documentation for this seems rather spartan. Running "R CMD BATCH --help" gives me info on only two options: one for getting help and the other to get the version. I see, further on, that there are options for retoring and saving sessions (which I do not need to do in this case),

I would like to write a block of code that runs when a script is being run from Rscript, but not to run if the same file is being source()d, or submitted via ESS, etc. As a gloss I would like to write a file that looks somewhat like: #!/usr/bin/env Rscript my.func <- function(...) { #do something... } if ( #is.running.Rscript# ) { do.call(my.func, commandArgs(trailingOnly=TRUE)) }

Hi, I know that I can use the following script to get the command line options for an R script. But the output shows two many irrelevant arguments. For example, I only want to pass "a", "b" and "c" to the script. The first 5 elements in the variable 'args' are not what I want. I am wondering what is the correct way to pass command line options to an R script.

A couple of weeks ago I asked how it is possible to run an R script (not a function) passing some parameters. Someone suggested the function "commandArgs()". I read the on-line help and found no clarifying example. Therefore I do not know how to use it appropriately. I noticed this function returns the pathname of the R executable which is not what I need. I meant to ask if it is

Dear R People: I have used ./R --no-save -q -f e.in >stuff.out with great success on SUSE10.1 with R-2.7.1. My question is, please: is there a way to pass in a variable to the e.in file? I'm fairly sure that the answer is no, but thought I'd double check. Thanks in advance, Sincerely, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences

Hi, I am struggling with using R CMD BATCH command. Kindly suggest solution to the following problem. I have a function named CinC with accept two input parameters. This can be shown as: CinC <- function(start, end) where start and end both are character strings. Please suggest me how can I run this function using command R CMD BATCH. Currently I am trying to do like this -> R CMD

Hi, if we have a file called Rscript.R that contains the following, for example: x <- 1:100 outfile = "Rscript.Rout" sink(outfile) print(x) and then we run >> source("Rscript.R") we get an output file called Rscript.Rout - great! Is there an internal variable, something like .Platform, that holds the script name when it is being executed? I would like to use

Is there a better way to do the following? I have data in a number of tab delimited files. I am using read.delim() to read them, in a loop. I am invoking my code on Linux Fedora 20, from the BASH command line, using Rscript. The code I'm using looks like: arguments <- commandArgs(trailingOnly=TRUE); # initialize the capped_data data.frame capped_data <- data.frame(lpar="NULL",

I'm having some trouble getting my shell script to work. I've checked out the Intro to R Manual and a host of other websites, but I still can't get the script to work when I submit the job to the cluster. Here is my main R code: ##Load Libraries ##... ## Load Time Data Args <- commandArgs(trailingOnly = TRUE); print(Args); timeDat <- read.flowSet(files=NULL, path=Args[1]);

Dear all, When running R CMD check on Windows XP to test my package I get the following warning message: "* checking line endings in C/C++/Fortran sources/headers ... WARNING Found the following sources/headers with CR or CRLF line endings: src/xpsDict.h" The problem is that this file is created by the compiler AUTOMATICALLY during the compilation process, and since the file is

He encontrado la respuesta. EL ejemplo que puse era trivial, ya que es obvio que if(i ==0) entonces next, pero me referia a sin saber si va a ser error el modelo o no. Para esto he encontrado la solución for(i in -3:3){ tryCatch({ z<-1/i > z<-z*z > modelo<-lm(z~1) }, error=function(e){print("es un error"}) } Gracias de todas maneras!!!!! Jesús

Hi, On windows I'd like to run a batchfile that leaves me a plot. As a test I have the scriptfile "test.r" which only contains: x <- 1:10; y <- sample( 10 ) plot( x, y ) Now I tried the following (but nothing worked): a) "R --vanilla < test.r" in the cmd window, => that doesn't give me a plot b) the same, but I added

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

Dear R users, A colleague of mine asked me how to write a script (an executable text file containing R code) in R. After I showed him, he said that after extensive searching of the R archives, he had not found anything like these techniques. He suggested that I share these methods to enable others to leverage R as a better alternative to bash/perl scripts. So in the interest of giving back to
