Dear all,
many thanks for your help. I totally missed that texi2dvi is also a system
command (I don't use that explicitly to compile my .tex docs). So I checked my
"system-texi2dvi". It's quite interesting, if I use the option
"--mostly-clean", everthing is removed. However, if I use just "--cl
Dear Marius,
I see. I suppose it's a matter of your version of texi2dvi then - when I do the
same in a freshly created directory (including the "test" directory), cutting
and pasting your very code into R leaves me only with "myLaTeXFile2.pdf" and
"test/myLaTeXFile2.tex"
This is texi2dvi --versio

Dear Marius,
yes, that's what I had meant.
I am sorry I had not actually tested my suggestion nor your problem (bad
practice). Now I have and actually in case 2 you describe I only end up
with test/myLaTeXFile2.tex and myLaTeXFile2.pdf.

Dear Marius,
from reading the texi2dvi man-page and R-help on texi2dvi I suggest to set
'clean=F' and use 'texi2dvi = getOption("texi2dvi --mostly-clean")' instead.

Dear expeRts,
below are two examples of using texi2dvi. The problem becomes clear from the
second example: on cleaning, texi2dvi also deletes the generated .pdf file.
Is there a solution?
Cheers,
Marius
