[R] Current script name from R

[Allan Engelhardt]

I'm assuming you are using Rscript (please provide self-contained 
examples when posting) in which case you could look for the element in 
(base|R.utils)::commandArgs() that begin with the string "--file=" - the 
rest is the file name.  See the asValues= parameter in 
help("commandArgs", package="R.utils") for a nice way to get the parameter.

For an invocation of the form R < foo.R you'd need to inspect your 
system's process table (so don't do that).

Hope this helps.
