As suggested I switched over to sweave. Not to bore you with the details
but I have a lot of .tex tables that I have already created that I was
previously inserting into my tex document (using \input). The journal I
plan on submitting to eventually wants the final .tex file so I thought it
would be a good idea to use Sweave, it makes a tex doc with my tables
generated and it should be all good.
I just spend a few hours trying to get the \SweaveInput commant to work
properly. I finally determined that I couldn't put the file in as an
absolute path but it had to be a relative path. I.e
\SweaveInput{/home/tdavies/Dropbox/CollapseRecovery_Shared/trevor/afterAFS/writing/sweave/blah.tex}
gave the error:
R CMD Sweave hitmiss.Rnw
Error in SweaveReadFile(c(ifile, file), syntax, encoding = encoding) :
no Sweave file with name
'.//home/tdavies/Dropbox/CollapseRecovery_Shared/trevor/afterAFS/writing/sweave/blah.tex'
found
Calls: <Anonymous> -> Sweave -> SweaveReadFile -> SweaveReadFile
Execution halted
make: *** [hitmiss.tex] Error 1
However, when i use:
\SweaveInput{../../../../../../../../home/tdavies/Dropbox/CollapseRecovery_Shared/trevor/afterAFS/writing/sweave/blah.tex}
It works fine.
What am I missing here?
Thanks.
