[R-gui] Interface for Edit-Plus Editor

[Philippe Grosjean]

Greg,

It seems you are trying to use interactive functions like getline() in
batch, that is, a non-interactive mode of R. You can look at the WinEdt
interface: it mostly uses sendkeys to simulate actions in RGui. In WinEdt
interface, there seems to be a problem when RGui is iconized, because then,
R does not interpret keystrokes.

I wrote a little program to allow sending commands, and sourcing files to
RGui from TextPad (http://www.textpad.com). You can find it at
http://www.r-project.org/GUI, in the IDE/Script Editors section. You can
either use Textpad which has quite similar features as Edit-Plus (after a
quick glance in the web site), or you can adapt and use it with Edit-Plus.
Best,

Philippe Grosjean

I actually am trying to execute using a command passed to Rterm.exe.
I get the following output back to the editor:


---------- R-batch ----------
