Hi,
I'm trying to run an R script using Rcmd Batch from the command line on a
Windows Vista machine. I am using R version 2.8.1.
I installed the batch files 4-3 found at
http://cran.r-project.org/contrib/extra/batchfiles/ and added them to my
path.
I also had to install the latest version of perl (it's Strawberry perl if
that makes a difference) and have added this to my path.
Now when I run the command: Rcmd batch TestBatch.R TestOutput.txt from the
command line, I get the error:
Can't open perl script "C:\Progra~1\R\R-28~1.0\bin\batch": No such file or
directory
Just for reference, TestBatch.R contains only one line: print("hello world")
Does anyone have any idea on what this file is that I might be missing? Or
is there some other mistake I'm making in trying to run the a script from
the command line.
Rcmd runs some commands based on internal matches to the name, and if
not found there, it looks in the file system. So there is no internal
command "batch", and no external command of that name either.
The actual name (as Rcmd --help will tell you) is "BATCH", and it is
implemented as an internal command, so case matters.
