Hi, In python, there is a package that helps generating command line options. I am wondering if there is such a package in R that helps generating the command options for a R script? http://docs.python.org/library/optparse.html Regards, Peng
I recently put a package on CRAN that tries to implement much of the
functionality and approach of python's "optparse" library:
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/optparse/
It contains a package vignette (use vignette("optparse") after installing
the package) that illustrates an example program using optparse and trying
it with various options on the command line.
The "getopt" package or manually parsing the command line remain good
approaches too.
