Many thanks for the suggestions. Here is a related question: When I do things like this...
echo "matrix(rnorm(25*2),c(25,2))" | R --slave --no-save ...I get the desired result except that I would like to suppress the "[,1]" row and column labels so that only the values go to stdout. What is the trick to making that work? By the way, I find it useful to have a script in my path that does this: #!/bin/sh echo "$1" | /usr/local/bin/R --slave --no-save Suppose that script was called "doR", then one could do things like this from the Linux/UNIX command line: # doR 'sqrt(35.6)' [1] 5.966574 # doR 'runif(1)' [1] 0.8881654 Which I find to be handy for quick arithmetic and even for much more sophisticated things. I'd like to get rid of the "[1]" though! Mike -- Michael B.
