Hi,

I do not use R for Windows. But I would say that you have to run 'Rscript.exe' in a "CMD" prompt, if I am not mistaken. Not in 'Rgui'.
In 'Rgui', use 'source'.

Hope this helps,
Pascal

Greetings,



I have just downloaded R onto a 64bit PC running Microsoft 7 Home Edition
via Rgui. I have quite a bit of programming experience, though not as a
professional programmer. I am a Measurement and Assessment professional
(standardized testing). I would like to be able to write R scripts, and call
them from the command line in Rgui. After two attempts, I receive the
following error messages



R CMD BATCH test.R

Error: unexpected symbol in "R CMD"



Rscript test.R

Error: unexpected symbol in "Rscript test.R"



These commands were taken directly from the R documents found on the
R-project website.



Clearly, I am doing something wrong. The script test.R resides in the R
directory, and includes



24 + 6



and nothing more. The path to test.R is C:\Program Files\R\test.R



Any assistance would be appreciated.
