For example, from within an R script I would like to be able to launch NotePad.exe.
Is there an R call for launching Notepad.exe from within R? I've tried the following, but they don't seem to work: > system(paste('"C:/WINDOWS/NOTEPAD.exe"'), wait = FALSE) > system("C:/WINDOWS/NOTEPAD.exe", wait = FALSE) > system("NOTEPAD", wait = FALSE) That is, these do not bring up the Notepad GUI. Thanks for any insights. ______________________________________________ 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.
