A couple of weeks ago I asked how it is possible to run an R script (not a function) passing some parameters. Someone suggested the function "commandArgs()". I read the on-line help and found no clarifying example. Therefore I do not know how to use it appropriately. I noticed this function returns the pathname of the R executable which is not what I need.
I meant to ask if it is possible to open an R session and launch a script passing parameters that the script can retrieve and use itself. Just like in C I can run a program and call it with some arguments > Example_Prog A B C The program "Example_Prog" can acess its own arguments through the data structures "argc" an "argv". How can I launch an R script simulating the above mechanism ? Shall I use source ("script-name") ? Where are the arguments to be passed, as part of the source call ? Is the function "commandArgs" to be places as one of the first code lines of the script in order to access its own arguments ? Is there any "commandArgs" usage example ? Thank you very much in advance. Maura tutti i telefonini TIM!
