I think something like this would work. Change your query to
rs <- dbSendQuery(con, statement = paste("select * from treatdata where name='", whichDevice,"'", sep = "")) And then create a script like. whichDevice <- "Device1" Sweave("myfile.rnw") whichDevice <- "Device2" Sweave("myfile.rnw") HTH, Thierry ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- ir.

Hello, I'm still trying to make the life of my colleagues easier. Nice, isn't it ? At the moment, I'm looking for a way to generate multiple "single report". In fact I have a .rnw file which send a query to a MySQL database (rs<-dbSendQuery(con, statement="select * from treatdata where name='Device1'") But of course my colleagues have many devices and don't want to enter the rnw file to change the name of the device. Is there a way to pass arguments to Sweave like Sweave("myfile.rnw", namevar="Device2") and it will change namevar by Device2 into the file myfile.rnw before creating the .tex file ? Or is it possible to do it via another language, that is: loading the rnw file, modifying it, saving it and finally calling Sweave ? Whatever the solution, I need you help. In advance thank you.
