Re: [R] texi2dvi: option clean also deletes the generated pdf file
Dear Marius,
from reading the texi2dvi man-page and R-help on texi2dvi I suggest to set
'clean=F' and use 'texi2dvi = getOption(texi2dvi --mostly-clean)' instead.

The problem is that this does not work. It produces the same output as my
Example 2 without the clean-option. So it leaves all files in the working
directory.
The reason why I am looking for a clean-up is that I have to compile several
hundred LaTeX files in different directories...

Re: [R] texi2dvi: option clean also deletes the generated pdf file
Dear Marius,
yes, that's what I had meant.
I am sorry I had not actually tested my suggestion nor your problem (bad
practice). Now I have and actually in case 2 you describe I only end up
with test/myLaTeXFile2.tex and myLaTeXFile2.pdf.
If, however, I run texi2dvi at least once with option 'clean=F', the auxiliary
files
are generated and left in the path. Also upon a subsequent run with the option
'clean=T', they are not being deleted.
Could this also be the case for you, i.e., that you once used the option
'clean=F' (or not set at all) and now are made believe 'clean=T' does not work
because they are still there but actually left-overs from the old run?
I run R version 2.7.1 (2008-06-23) on Debian stable.
Kind regards, Tim

The texi2dvi function has two possible execution paths: in one, it
basically constructs a call to the system texi2dvi command and calls
that, and in the other it emulates the behaviour of texi2dvi. I haven't
checked recently, but I think the second method doesn't do anything with
clean=TRUE, so it looks as though this is a problem with the texi2dvi
command you have installed on your system.
To confirm this, run debug(tools:::.shell_with_capture), and run
texi2dvi. When R breaks in that .shell_with_capture, it will show you
what it is trying to execute. If it is using your system texi2dvi
command, it will call it once with option --help to find out what
options are supported, and then a second call will show you the main
command line. You can use this to report a bug to Apple or whoever
supplied your texi2dvi.

Re: [R] texi2dvi: option clean also deletes the generated pdf file
Dear Marius,
I see. I suppose it's a matter of your version of texi2dvi then - when I do the
same in a freshly created directory (including the test directory), cutting
and pasting your very code into R leaves me only with myLaTeXFile2.pdf and
test/myLaTeXFile2.tex
This is texi2dvi --version

Re: [R] texi2dvi: option clean also deletes the generated pdf file
Dear all,
many thanks for your help. I totally missed that texi2dvi is also a system
command (I don't use that explicitly to compile my .tex docs). So I checked my
system-texi2dvi. It's quite interesting, if I use the option
--mostly-clean, everthing is removed. However, if I use just --clean, then
the generated pdf file is not removed. So the solution is to call (in the
shell):
texi2dvi --clean --pdf ./test/myLaTeXFile2.tex
I can call this from within system() [or even use pdflatex directly from within
system()]. I guess I don't need R's texi2dvi anymore.
Many thanks
Marius

Dear Marius,
I see. I suppose it's a matter of your version of texi2dvi then - when I do
the
same in a freshly created directory (including the test directory), cutting
and pasting your very code into R leaves me only with myLaTeXFile2.pdf and
test/myLaTeXFile2.tex
This is texi2dvi --version
texi2dvi (GNU Texinfo 4.11) 1.104

*everything* (including the .pdf) is deleted :-(
I work with R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31) on a MacBook Pro running 10.6.4.
