I have downloaded a file that I don't know how to describe correctly. It contains R code and Latex, and I should be able to reproduce an analysis by running an R script in this folder.
There is a line in the R script: junk <- system(paste("/usr/texbin/pdflatex ",latexFiles[i1]), intern=TRUE) that needs to be modified to run on my computer. I use WinEdt with Miktek 2.6 Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can modify the statement above to work on my computer. Or any other suggestions to get it working. On my computer I see that pdflatex.exe is in: C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.6\miktex\bin So I made the following modification. junk <- system(paste("C:\\Program Files\\MiKTeX 2.6\\miktex\\bin\\pdflatex ",latexFiles[i1]), intern=TRUE) Maybe spaces are causing problems? Here is the error: > source("D:\\My Documents\\Coombes2\\Scripts\\runAll2.R") Writing to file buildRda.cellLinesFromPredictors.tex Processing code chunks ... 1 : echo term verbatim (label=options) 2 : echo term verbatim (label=invokeMatchPredictors) 3 : echo term verbatim (label=getLocation) 4 : echo term verbatim (label=saveStuff) 5 : echo term verbatim (label=sessionInfo) You can now run LaTeX on 'buildRda.cellLinesFromPredictors.tex' Error in system(paste("C:\\Program Files\\MiKTeX 2.6\\miktex\\bin\\pdflatex", : C:\Program not found Thanks for any help. > sessionInfo() R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31) i386-pc-mingw32 locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252 [2] LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252 [3] LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252 [4] LC_NUMERIC=C [5] LC_TIME=English_United States.1252 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
