Dear R community,
I have been perusing your mailing list (via Nabble) but have not been
able to find a suitable solution yet.
First of all, my aim would be to run R (or Rterm or Rscript)
interactively, while still being able to start the session with an
R-script and command line parameters.
Kind of what "octave --persist" does, if there are Octave folks among you.
I have found out about
R CMD BATCH ...
where I can run scripts with arguments, but not in interactive mode, and
have read about using environment variables like
R_PROFILE_USER
which would allow me to run a script at the beginning of an interactive
session, but not to pass command line arguments.
Finally, I believe that the --ess option of R (the Windows equivalent of
--interactive) might be what I am looking for, but it seems to have no
effect at all:
C:\Program Files\R\R-2.11.1\bin>R.exe --slave -e "print(interactive());"
[1] FALSE
C:\Program Files\R\R-2.11.1\bin>R.exe --slave --ess -e
"print(interactive());"
[1] FALSE
I am seriously confused. Is there no such thing as
"R --persist MyScript.R myarg1 myarg2"
that would run MyScript interactively?
Thanks for your time,
Daniel
