There is a batch file called #Rscript.bat at http://batchfiles.googlecode.com . If you (1) place #Rscript.bat anywhere on your path and then (2) place this line at the top of your R file: #Rscript %0 %* and (3) rename your R file to end in .bat then it can be used as both a bat file and as an R file. If you double click it then it will run the script since its a bat file yet you can also source() it into R like any R file. It does produce one garbage line of output at the top so it will only be usable in situations where that is ok. Note that #Rscript.bat finds R from the registry so if you upgrade R you will not need to make any changes to your scripts that use it. -- Statistics & Software Consulting GKX Group, GKX Associates Inc. tel: 1-877-GKX-GROUP email: ggrothendieck at gmail.com ______________________________________________ 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.
