[R] Sas to R

[Joshua Wiley]

Hi Sarah,

Just a couple additional notes to what's been said:

1) It seems like R CMD BATCH might be easier
2) If the space in Program Files is causing issues, you can use the
Windows environment variable %PROGRAMFILES% (which also means you do
not need the drive letter.
3) I find it handy to define a new Windows environment variable with
the path to R, then I can just reference that rather than the entire
path (a google search will show you lots of ways to do this via the
GUI and the command prompt).  For instance: "%R%/Rterm.exe" starts R
in the command prompt for me.

Here is an example run from the Windows command prompt:

"%PROGRAMFILES%/R/R-2.11.1/bin/R.exe" CMD BATCH "C:/myscript.R" "C:/results.txt"

Cheers,

Josh
