How to execute a R script but outputting the result to the screen?

Hi,

If I run the below command, it will generate a file 'file.Rout' to
save the output. But I want the output be shown in the screen
directly. I'm wondering if there is a direct way to do so.

R CMD BATCH file.R

Regards,
Peng

You did not specify your OS, but you might try at the shell prompt:

Rscript file.R 

See ?Rscript

I didn't know that OS matters. My machine is a linux machine.

I have a few different version of R installed in my machine (different
commands like R, R-2.9.0, R-2.8 ..). But I don't see the version of
Rscript. How to figure out which version of R my Rscript uses?

Regards,
Peng

Try:

Rscript -e R.version.string

to get the R version, or

Rscript --version

if you want to know the version of Rscipt itself rather than R.

Is there a command line option for me to figure out what R version
Rscript calls?
