[R-SIG-Mac] Getting arguments from command line to run a R script

[Etienne Toffin]

Hi,

I use a command line C++ program to run stochastic simulations.

With a shell script I run my program several parameter values and use  
the command
R CMD BATCH ../PlotDigging.r
where PlotDigging.r is a R file that plot several graphics from my  
simulation results and write a .png file.

Right now I just enter parameter values both in my shell script and my  
R file : that way I can't launch that much values. So I would like to  
know if there's a way to launch R CMD as I already do and give it the  
parameter values entered in the shell script…

Hope I'm clear enough to get an answer…

Thanks,

Etienne
