[R] Running source from Unix line

[Oleg Sklyar]

See the previous reply, but also if you want to run a shell script and 
need to pass arguments like file names or dir names or anything else, 
you cane you the following (${1} -- 1st argument to the shell script, 
${2} -- second etc):

#!/bin/sh
echo 'a="${1}";b="${2}"; source("codeWith_a_and_b.R")" | R --vanilla --quiet

The from shell (e.g. to process smth in this dir, a, with b=2):

./thisScript `pwd` 2
