Colleagues, I have an unusual problem; I am wondering whether anyone has dealt with it and found a solution.
I have a script that needs to be encrypted. R will then be run on the script. There are various means to decrypt the file, some of which leave the decrypted code on the hard drive for an excessive period. One means that I have considered to deal with this is the following (the unix code is not correct, just sufficient to communicate the idea): system("decrypt ...") system("rm encrypted file") source(decrypted file) system("rm decrypted file") Another approach would be to pipe the decrypted version to R in the command line (as it is being decrypted). Obviously, this could be done with R < decryptedFile but this leaves the decrypted code exposed. Is there some other means to accomplish my goals using something on the command line? Of note, the scripts are not terribly long - 50-200 lines each.
