Re: [NTG-context] Difficulties using the r module

I now discovered a side effect of using the R CMD BATCH invocation instead of the piping. With the CMD R outputs the setting of options in the first line and the result of proc.time at the end. Perhaps not a problem, but it does require three more typed lines per R block. Johan 2006/7/5, Johan Sandblom :

I think some quoting is required:

\def\runR {\executesystemcommand{texmfstart --ifchanged=\Rfile\space --direct R CMD BATCH "-q --save --restore \Rfile\space \Rfile.out"}}

works here, but then I am on Linux. I think eventually Mac expertise may be required.

I can confirm that this works from the command line:

R CMD BATCH -q --save --restore rsample-r-1.tmp rsample-r-1.tmp.out

using the sample file from the r module. Running this command for each of the r segments will produce the desired output. What I haven't determined is how to modify the r module \runR command. Simply replacing the current \runR with

\def\runR {\executesystemcommand{texmfstart --ifchanged=\Rfile\space --direct R CMD BATCH -q --save --restore \Rfile\space \Rfile.out}}

was not successful. But I'm quite unfamilier with ConTeXt at this level.

As far as I can determine, the appropriate .out files are not being created, which the log file correctly indicates. The .tmp files are successfully extracted from the source file.

Thanks for the help with this.
