[R] Run Sweave and LaTeX directly from command line

[Gorjanc Gregor]

Gabor,

I definitely agree about use of R, however I am not so "much in" R 
as I am in Bash. It took me less than two hours to write this script.

At home I use R under windows and I solve problem of portability 
with Cygwin. I know that this is not optimal solution for everyone 
but ...

Can you provide me some insights/thoughts how this script might be 
written in R? I am open for discussion and cooperation on this script.

What do you think Friedrich? I must look at this texi2dvi. I didn't 
hav any experience with it jet. I will look at it.

It might be possible to translate 90% of this into R leaving

just a short shell portion in which case it would be easy

to translate just that part into Windows batch making it

available on that OS too.  As someone already mentioned,

using texi2dvi could be helpful too.



Regards.

Hello!



Those of you, who use Sweave a lot, will probably find my shell script 

usable. You can get it at:

No warranty, however don't hesitate to contact me if you find an error or 

have a patch!
