[R] Run Rscript.exe, how to capture error message?

Hi there,

I use Rscript.exe for batch run (actually it is used in ASP.net code)

c:>"C:\Program Files\R\R-2.10.1\bin\Rscript.exe" test.r xxx.txt

Where test.r is the r program and xxx.txt is a file name test.r will read in, it comes from
a web form. This works fine, when the file is in required format. Sometime, xxx.txt
has wrong format, test.r read in but can't process it. If I run interactive mode, I
probably can see the error message on the screen. But since this is running 
as a background process, I don't really have a screen to see.

I tried redirct:

c:>"C:\Program Files\R\R-2.10.1\bin\Rscript.exe" test.r xxx.txt > error.log

But it doesn't work even in local windows.

Thanks

A. Huang
