shell.exe() equivalent?
There might be a better way, but on the mac "open" opens a file as if
you doubleclick on it in Finder, and the "system" command in R
executes a shell command, so you should be able to do
R> system(paste("open", filename))

Greetings R Mac users, I switched from windows to mac relatively recently (better late than never), and am still adjusting. Does anyone know whether there is the equivalent of shell.exe(filename)? Basically, I used the command to view a graph that was just saved in a pdf/png or other formats without having to manually open the file. ### Example: pdf(filename, ... ) ? plot( ... ) dev.off() shell.exec(filename) ### Thanks! Mick PS I searched the list, R help, & google, but did not find it
