[R] R in batch mode

[Muhuri, Pradip (SAMHSA/CBHSQ)]

Dear Jonathan (and List),

Sorry for bothering you again, and I am requesting your further guidance on this subject. Below are the steps, which I have followed. But I got an error message.



1. The content of myR.bat is as follows: 

"C:\R\bin\i386\R\R-2.10.0\bin\Rterm.exe" --no-restore --no-save < %1 > %1.Rout 2>& 1

2. I have saved that .bat file in the subdirectory C:\R\bin\i386\R\R-2.10.0\bin.

3. on the R prompt, I have issued the following: setwd("E:/R")

4. Then I have issued the following: myR dateR.R.

Error: unexpected symbol in "myR dateR.R"

What am I doing wrong?

Please help resolve the issue.

Thanks,

Pradip

Save it anywhere that is on your search path, which can be seen by
typing path into the command line.
