Hi, I'm trying to run an R script from the command line and I do it in the following way:
R CMD BATCH -q <something.R> <output file>* *I write the R script from inside a Perl program (on UNIX of course!) and execute the shell command using the function "system".**What intrigues me is the strange error that I see in the output file: Error: embedded nul in string: '\0' Execution halted When I copy and paste the commands manually in the R command prompt, I get exactly what I expect to get. I've never come across this error before. I did some brief searches on the net but cannot find any comprehensive on how this problem can be fixed. I would appreciate some help in the matter. As a general question, are there any mature Perl modules that help one interface R with Perl without having to resort to more cumbersome methods such as using system calls from within? Many thanks.
