BTW, another alternative is to run 'R CMD BATCH MyCode.R' from the CLI (Linux and OS X). If you are on Windows, I believe that would be: R.exe CMD BATCH MyCode.R possibly having to specify the $PATH to R.exe. See ?BATCH for additional information and Appendix B in An Introduction to R: https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-intro.html#Invoking-R Regards, Marc ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
