[R] (windows xp) start script on startup / double clicking on the script

2009-09-30 Thread Martin Batholdy

hi,

I am still trying to figure out how it is possible to start an R- 
script via the R-GUI directly by double-clicking on the script file in  
windows xp.
On Mac OS I have the option start script in the editor in the  
preferences.


But on windows XP I always get the ARGUMENT  'c:\...\...'
___ignored___ error when I try to associate the .R extension with the  
R program file.



My problem is that I don't have the possibility to install any other  
programs.

And the people using the script don't know R.
So its really important to find a way to start a script just by double  
clicking on the file.



Now I was wondering if it is possible to make a shortcut of the R  
script and change the start options.
I am not familiar with windows - does someone know if that is a  
possible way to get R code to the R console (in the R gui) on startup?


Or any other clues / tips?





thanks for any help!

Try creating a Windows batch file along these lines:

setlocal
set R_PROFILE_USER=C:\tmp\myscript.R
C:\Program Files\R\R-2.9.x\bin\Rgui.exe
endlocal

and double click it.  The set line sets it up to run your script and
the next line runs R.
