Suppose I create an R program called myTest.R with only one line like the following:
type <- as.integer(readline("input type (1: type1; 2: type2)? ")) Then I'd like to run myTest.R in batch mode by constructing an input file called answers.R with the following: source("myTest.R") 1 When I ran the following at the terminal: R CMD BATCH answer.R output.Rout it failed to pick up the answer '1' from the 2nd line in answers.R as shown inside output.Rout: > source("myTest.R") input type (0: quit; 1: type1; 2: type2)? > 1 [1] 1 What am I missing here?
