I'm not Uwe, but here are some of the things to try if you want to do this fully in R.
Look at the help for scan, one approach to reading in a .rnw file is to use scan, but set it to read each row of the file as a character matrix. The 'see also' section of the scan help page has some other functions that could be used to read in the file as well. Modify the read in character strings with the sub or gsub functions. Use cat (with a file argument) to write the character strings back to a file. Also look at the commandArgs function for one way to pass options (the device name(s)) to your R script. You may also want to read (or reread) the "Invoking R" section of "An Introduction to R". Hope this helps, -- Gregory (Greg) L.
