If you're intending to run some code that may require user input, then I share your need. I started two threads on this some time ago [1,2], but as far as I know it still isn't possible. My workaround is to use "expect", or to create a temporary .Rprofile if that is not available, from within a shell script wrapper (see [3], lines 197-221). It isn't pretty, and I'd love to see support for this kind of use case in R proper (happy to contribute my time to help if someone with better knowledge of the R source could guide me), but it's the best solution I've found.
All the best, Jon -- [1] https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2008-January/150786.html [2] https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2008-September/050803.html [3] https://github.com/jonclayden/tractor/blob/master/bin/tractor#L197 On 26 February 2013 10:07, Marc Aurel Kiefer <marcaurelkie...@gmx.de> wrote: > 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. > > 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. > > It doesn't matter if it's a source()-like way or "R CMD BATCH" or even > feeding stdin to R or whatever... > > Regards, > > Marc > > ______________________________________________ > R-devel@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
