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:

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"),

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

See the example below (under Ubuntu): $ Rscript -e '1' -e '2' [1] 1 [1] 2 $ Rscript -e '1' -e '' -e '2' ERROR: option '-e' requires an argument $ uname -a Linux xie 3.5.0-25-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon Feb 25 18:26:58 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Similar problem under Windows: Rscript -e "1" -e "" -e "2" [1]

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

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

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?

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

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

Hi, I have some code I run interactively through the R interpreter and it works fine. I then run it as a script with Rscript and I get an error. The error is coming when Rscript builds a model matrix. Here is the Rscript code : #!/usr/lib/R/bin/Rscript --verbose require(MASS) options(contrasts = c("contr.treatment", "contr.poly")) .... form <- as.formula(paste(ef.var,

Fixed in R-devel. I will port to R-patched after more testing. Tomas On 04/26/2018 01:52 AM, Tomas Kalibera wrote: > Thanks for the report.

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

Wanting a commandline solution (for a problem detailed @ http://mailman.unidata.ucar.edu/mailing_lists/archives/netcdfgroup/2012/msg00279.html ) I turned to Rscript, and whacked out the q'n'd https://github.com/TomRoche/GEIA_to_netCDF/blob/master/netCDF.stats.to.stdout.r However it wasn't as quick as hoped, because I spent quite a bit of time figuring out how to pass the arguments.
