I'd like to create a suitable batch file or shortcut so that I can run
Sweave on a .Rnw or .Rtex file simply by clicking on the file from
Windows Explorer in Windows XP (as I do with latex, bibtex etc). This
looks tantalisingly possible using R CMD BATCH or Rterm possibly in
combination with a .bat file. Has anyone succeeded is setting it up and
would give me a pointer?
As a very simple starting *idea*, a batch file could look like, e.g.,
R CMD BATCH --no-save c:/myscripts/MakeSweave.R
texi2dvi --pdf %1.tex
gsview32 %1.pdf
with MakeSweave.R:
library(tools)
for(i in list.files(pattern = "\\.Rnw$")) Sweave(i)
Another idea would be
rterm --no-save --args "%1" < c:/myscripts/MakeSweave.R > "%1.log"
where MakeSweave.R was
library(tools)
args <- commandArgs()
inp <- args[length(args)]
Sweave(inp)
base <- sub("\.(Rnw|Rtex)$", "", inp)
texi2dvi(paste("base", ".tex", sep=""), pdf=TRUE)
shell.exec(paste("base", ".pdf", sep=""))
Worked for me (in R-devel) on the example in utils/Sweave.
Works for me too. Very nice. Thanks to you both.
