Hi - Think this is quick help. Not sure how to trap what is causing my simple
script to run fine in R, but fail immediately when called from rscript. I can
put all sorts of traps in the script itself, but when called from the command
line the r window simply flashes and closes.
There's probably a way to find out why rscript is failing, but I don't know it and can't
seem to find it online. To be clear, I'm not really trying to save the OUTPUT of the
file...it never even executes as far as I can tell. I'm calling it with C:\Program
Files\R\R-3.4.3\bin\Rscript.exe "P:\Investments\Trading Tools\RV
Tools\myfile.r" And again, it executes perfectly if I open the GUI first and then
run it within R.
Thanks for the help!

Mike,
on Windows, anytime you send a path that contains a space to the command
line it needs to be enclosed in double quotes. Try a call like
"C:/Program Files/R/R-3.4.3/bin/Rscript.exe" "P:/Investments/Trading
Tools/RV Tools/myfile.r"
I don't know how rscript handles the '\' character (i.e. as an escape or
not) so I changed the '\' to '/' just to be safe. And note, the program
pathname and the file being passed need to be quoted separately.
Hope this helps,
Dan
