To get the tech specs out of the way I am running Rstudio(R 2.13.0) on a
ubuntu box. I am trying to use information returned from the system command
within an Rscript. System() passes commands to my ubuntu prompt and returns
the normal messages.
For example.
> system("date")Thu Jun 30 21:48:20 UTC 2011
However when i try to store this return(something i need to do for my
purposes) nothing is stored(or at least not what shown on the R prompt)
> store<-system("date")Thu Jun 30 21:49:27 UTC 2011> store[1] 0
How do i capture the return of system()?
Thanks R-world,
John Dennison
