I've hacked R so that it can be used to write shell and/or
CGI scripts, e.g. "hello world" can be written as:
#!/usr/local/lib/R/bin/R.bin --script
cat("Hello, World!\n");
The mods required to enable this aren't particularly major.
(Adds about 70 lines of code, IIRC.) Anyone else interested
in adding this to the R core?
Yes! I found it very useful in other software systems (e.g. Octave). That feature-request gets discussed here every now and then; I recall Peter and Luke discussing it here a few months back. Dirk
