I found the mac console and tried the first solution as well. It works fine.
R -e "Sweave('test.Rnw')" --args PatientId=2 <<echo=F>>= argString<-commandArgs(TRUE) print(argString) argList<-strsplit(argString,"=")[[1]] print(argList) assign(argList[1],as.numeric(argList[2])) print(PatientId) @ results in: \begin{Schunk} \begin{Soutput} [1] "PatientId=2" \end{Soutput} \begin{Soutput} [1] "PatientId" "2" \end{Soutput} \begin{Soutput} [1] 2 \end{Soutput} \end{Schunk} Am 08.06.2012 um 11:00 schrieb Jessica Streicher: > Well, i have my System not set up to run from command line, so i can't help > you there, but the scipt solution > > id<-1 > Sweave('test.Rnw') #printing out the id > > works fine for me.
