Dear Friends, I want to run a standalone console program (emBayesB) from R script on windows console. However, because the program asks user to press the enter key at each time after the analysis, the R code always stuck after invoking the emBayesB program with the "system()" function.
For reproduce the issue, please save the following content as a "c:\RScript.R" file ##### start ######## AppPath="c:\\bin\\emBayesB_gs.exe" system(AppPath, wait = TRUE) ##### end ########## And copy the "emBayesB_gs.exe" file into "c:\\bin". The emBayesB program is freely accessible at (additional file 3) the follow website http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/11/529/additional Then, if you try to run the following command on windows console, you will see the issue. ##### start of console command ########## c:\\R\\bin\\Rscript.exe c:\\RScript.R ##### end of console command ########## FYI, if you submit the "c:\\R\\bin\\Rscript.exe c:\\RScript.R" use the "system()" function in R (tested with R-studio), you will not required to press the enter key to finish the run. Although, the emBayesB program was used in my case, but I suppose it is a general issue as you call any standalone program that require users to press key to exit, by run R scripts on windows console . Any suggestion is appreciated! Please let me know if you require more information about the issue.
