command line fails
Thans Dan. It seems that it may be an issue with 3.4.3...I'm going to attempt a patch this weekend. The code works fine from the command line in 3.2.5!

Hi - Think this is quick help. Not sure how to trap what is causing my simple script to run fine in R, but fail immediately when called from rscript. I can put all sorts of traps in the script itself, but when called from the command line the r window simply flashes and closes. There's probably a way to find out why rscript is failing, but I don't know it and can't seem to find it online. To be clear, I'm not really trying to save the OUTPUT of the file...it never even executes as far as I can tell. I'm calling it with C:\Program Files\R\R-3.4.3\bin\Rscript.exe "P:\Investments\Trading Tools\RV Tools\myfile.r" And again, it executes perfectly if I open the GUI first and then run it within R.

Mike, on Windows, anytime you send a path that contains a space to the command line it needs to be enclosed in double quotes. Try a call like "C:/Program Files/R/R-3.4.3/bin/Rscript.exe" "P:/Investments/Trading Tools/RV Tools/myfile.r" I don't know how rscript handles the '\' character (i.e. as an escape or not) so I changed the '\' to '/' just to be safe. And note, the program pathname and the file being passed need to be quoted separately. Hope this helps, Dan -- Daniel Nordlund Port Townsend, WA USA
