[Rd] Clarification for options(OutDec)

2009-04-22 Thread Stephen Eglen

[Rd] R CMD BATCH on scripts without trailing newline

2005-09-01 Thread Stephen Eglen
If the last line of an R script does not have a trailing newline, a small errror is produced at the end of the script. Small example. If file eg.r contains one line: getwd() and there is no newline after the closing paren $ R CMD BATCH eg.r produces an error: $ cat eg.r.Rout R : Copyright 20
