Hi,
when running a R-script like this:
enable_magic()
compute_stuff()
disable_magic()
the whole script is parsed into a single expression and then evaluated, whereas
when using the interactive shell after each line entered, a REPL loop happens.
It's actually a vector of expressions that are evaluated one at a time,
but close enough...
Is there a way to make a script evaluation behave like this, because I need a
single REPL iteration for every expression in the script.
You don't say why you need that. From your subject line, I'm guessing
you want to do something like a user prompt, then wait for user input,
then another user prompt, etc.? So the fact that disable_magic() was
parsed at the beginning shouldn't matter. Or does it?
It doesn't matter if it's a source()-like way or "R CMD BATCH" or even feeding
stdin to R or whatever...
I think it all depends on what kind of input users are allowed to type,
but basically this is something you'll need to write yourself, I don't
think any of the normal running modes of R will suit you. Take a look
at the source to source() or to the Sweave-related functions for ideas.
