Can't you set the file associations to start up RGUI when you launch
an .R file?
*What I have already tried:
*This almost works, but it's not the interactive R GUI:
R --no-save --sdi -file="C:\SomePath\example.R"
These open the R GUI, but doesn't recognize -f --f --file -file
RGUI --no-save --sdi -file="C:\SomePath\example.R"
RGUI --no-save --sdi -f "C:\SomePath\example.R"
I've thought about suppressing the error and then parsing
commandArgs()...
Although this may be possible, it seems preposterously overly
complicated.
*My last resort:
* Having an entire installation of R with a "Rprofile.site" that
will
source my program. The whole installation would be devoted to just
running
that one program. I think it will work, but it's an annoying waste of
space, and confusing to have multiple R installation.
Isn't there a Google Code project that handles windoze stuff like this?
http://code.google.com/p/batchfiles/
RGuiStart.bat # perhaps?
Cannot test because I haven't used R on PC's for the last two years.
Thank you very much!
What I'm using:
Right now, R 2.10 on Windows 7, but I'm happy to use any version.
My
intended audience will be using Windows 7
I've spent a fair amount of time searching the online help using my
favorite
help sites:
http://r-project.markmail.org/
http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/R-help-f789696.html
I've also looked at the PDFs that come with r, especially the R-
intro (which
is where I got the --f and --file ideas).
Sometimes I see help responses that just point to the chapter of a
book, or
a PDF on Cran. I would be delighted to discover my own answer in the
available materials, but please give some hint about why the cited
material
is relevant!
