Hi All, I am using below code to execute a batch file on server to get me data
from
an API
it looks like:
shell.exec('<<path name>>\\file.bat')
#do next step
The problem is that this function shell.exec doesn't wait for the batch
file to execute completely and jumps to next line of code.
Any ideas how can I hold R to go for next line of code until and unless
batch file has completed its execution.
Many thanks.
P.S: I tried to use shell() but it says could not find function shell
