[R] run a script during R CMD build

[Adaikalavan Ramasamy]

Yes, one way is to use commandArgs in the R script. So say your R script 
is as follows

  n   <- as.character(commandArgs()[3])
  fn  <- as.character(commandArgs()[4])

  mat <- matrix( rnorm( n*n ), nc=n )
  write.table( mat, filenames=fn, sep="\t", quote=FALSE )



Then you execute the commands from command line as

   R --no-save < script 100 out.txt


This will run the R commands and output them to "out.txt".
