Searching for »source code« in the R Wiki, I found the Wiki page
scriptingr [3] – which did not turn up in my other searches. As it
turned out you can encode `"` by `\"` in Bash too. So the following
works just fine.

        $ for i in $(seq 2); do r -e "source(\"/tmp/iterf.r\"); print(f$i(2, 
3)) )" ; done
        [1] 5
        [1] 10


Thanks,

Paul
