Batch Mode for Windows

Hi, I have researched batch mode for windows and could not find anything that
worked.
I know the code should be

$ R CMD BATCH inputfile.R outputfile.Rout
or
R <inputfile.R > outputfile.Rout

I tried these without success. I need detailed, step by step instructions on
how to do this. I have tried typing  C:\R\bin\x64\Rgui.exe before it, but
this just opens R.

When I tried to do this, it said that $, R, etc. are not recognizable
commands. In other instances it said that the arguments R, CMD, and BATCH
were ignored. What specifically should I do to make this work?  I thought I
was supposed to change the directory to the folder where my input file was
stored, but this did not work either.

Hi

Here is a script I have used sometime ago to do a job i cannot 
remember what Windows OS it was. the first line is the general form

  # R CMD BATCH [options] infile [outfile]
  c:\rw\bin\R CMD BATCH --no-restore --no-save 
D:/Feh/R/FEH_Index_in.R D:/Feh/R/FEH_Batch.txt

  the FEH_Batch.txt is the log file for the batch

Almost right, see below.
$ indicates you shoudl thpy in the OS shell. Do not repeat that one when 
typing commands.
In that case, you have not added the directory where R.exe lives to the 
PATH environment variable.
