[BioC] How to use Rcmd

[Zhao, Po]

Thanks for your email.

If I just enter "Rterm.exe", a R session will start with R prompt.

If I enter "Rterm.exe --no-restore --no-save < %1 > %1.out", shown is:

D:\Program Files\Rma\bin>Rterm.exe --no-restore --no-save < %1 > %1.out
The system cannot find the file specified.

Where can I download Rcmd program?

Thanks.

Po

Hi Po,

do you have the program "rcmd" on your computer? Probably not - normally
you have to get it separately. Here, from the Windows FAQ, how you can 
also run R in batch mode with rterm.exe:



2.9 Can I use R BATCH?

Yes, if you have Perl and the files for making source packages (from
rw1062.exe) installed. The Windows
analogue is Rcmd BATCH: use Rcmd BATCH --help for full details.

Otherwise you can set up a batch file using Rterm.exe. A sample batch file
might contain (as one line)

     path_to_R\bin\Rterm.exe --no-restore --no-save < %1 > %1.out
