1. For R scripts you should also consider the package littler developed by Dirk Eddelbuettel, Highly recommended. For info http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/littler.html or the github repository.
Eric, I'll definintely look at that package.
2. Scripts can be useful both for short calculations, extending the shell, or for large R jobs that are not interactive and can run unsupervised. e.g. I have a script that is run automatically on a daily schedule. It performs a number of calculations and updates a database with the results.
My immediate need is to import 30 data files, change factors into dates and datetimes, print a summary, then plot a PDF scatterplot. This is why I need to learn Rscript. I should be able to wrap that in a bash shell script's for ... do loop that runs the Rscript for all *.dat files in the directory. Much appreciated, Rich ______________________________________________ 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.
