I'm assuming you are using Rscript (please provide self-contained examples when posting) in which case you could look for the element in (base|R.utils)::commandArgs() that begin with the string "--file=" - the rest is the file name. See the asValues= parameter in help("commandArgs", package="R.utils") for a nice way to get the parameter.

For an invocation of the form R < foo.R you'd need to inspect your system's process table (so don't do that).

Hope this helps.

Is there a way for a script to find out about its own name ?
