There is a batch file called #Rscript.bat at http://batchfiles.googlecode.com . If you (1) place #Rscript.bat anywhere on your path and then (2) place this line at the top of your R file: #Rscript %0 %* and (3) rename your R file to end in .bat then it can be used as both a bat file and as an R file. If you double click it then it will run the script since its a bat file yet you can also source() it into R like any R file.It does produce one garbage line of output at the top so it will only be usable in situations where that is ok. Note that #Rscript.bat finds R from the registry so if you upgrade R you will not need to make any changes to your scripts that use it. -- Statistics & Software Consulting GKX Group, GKX Associates Inc. tel: 1-877-GKX-GROUP email: ggrothendieck at gmail.com __ 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.

Well, try following the correct conventions ...
1. Double click on an .Rdata file, which is produced by saving from R, and it
will open.
2. Drag and drop a .R or any text file into an open R window and it will source
the contents.
This is probably documented somewhere .. maybe in the RW FAQ.

Re: [R] Opening a .R file with R (Windows)
Hi One workaround in Windows You shall have SendTo folder located somewhere in system (depending on Windows version). Put a shortcut to R programme in that folder. Than you can click with right mouse button on *.r file, select send to and choose appropriate shortcut (in that case R) but you can use it for other programs too.

Re: [R] Opening a .R file with R (Windows)
Hi Kye, I have never gotten .R files to work quite like other types (e.g., double-clicking a .PDF) in Windows. AFAIK there is no simple way to do it, because you do not edit scripts directly in R (I am happy to be corrected if someone knows better). For general use, I would just open R first and then open the file, or if you just want to run the file, you can use R's batch mode from the Windows command prompt.

[R] Opening a .R file with R (Windows)
I am new to using R. I installed R on my computer (Windows) and everything things appears to be just fine. However, I have a simple script RTest.R that does a few simple calculations. When I double-click the RTest.R icon, I get an Information dialong box which says, "ARGUMENT 'C:\Documents and Settings\kgilder\Desktop\RTest.R' __ignored__" . When I choose OK, R then opens, but it does not open or display the script. Any help or suggestions? When I open R and use File >> Open New Script and path to the file, it opens just fine.
