[R] passing args to R CMD BATCH in win 2000
Hello and sorry to bother. Please help. I searched the archives but could not find out why --args is being ignored on Windows 2000. I try R CMD BATCH --slave 11.R 11.Rout --args 12 and 11.R has x=commandArgs(trail=T) print(x) a=x[length(x)] write.csv(a,file=13.out) q(no) the argument is not passed to the R process. 11.Rout only shows processing time and 13.out does not have the value.

Re: [R] help with tryCatch
Henrik, Please, stay with me. there is a problem with the way tryCatch processes statements and that is exactly what the help file does not describe at all. I am trying catch=function(vec){ ans=NULL;err=NULL; for (i in vec) { tryCatch({ source(i); ans=c(ans,i); cat(ans, from try); }, error=function(er){ cat(i, from catch\n); err=c(err,i); } ) } ret=list(ans=ans,err=err) ret } v=c(gdhfdh,hdhdfjh) #non-existent files ret=catch(v) # err is NULL and none of the statements in that block is executed ?? below is a Java example that executes the catch block as it should. How can I achieve the same in R? *** import java.io.FileReader; import java.io.FileWriter; import java.io.IOException; import java.util.Vector; public class ReadFiles { public static void main(String[] args) { String[] files={asdf,qwert}; Vector err=new Vector(); FileReader inputStream = null; for (int j=0;j2;j++){ try { inputStream = new FileReader(files[j]); int c; while ((c = inputStream.read()) != -1) {} } catch(IOException e){ err.add(j,files[j]); // this statement executes! } finally { if (inputStream != null) { inputStream.close(); // IO not encapsulated here, but declared in main throws. pls ignore since source(arg) in R takes care of closing. } } } for (Object j:err){ System.out.println(j); } } } Henrik Bengtsson wrote: To be more precise, put the tryCatch() only around the code causing the problem, i.e. around source(). /H On 2/13/07, Henrik Bengtsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Put the for loop outside the tryCatch(). /H On 2/13/07, Stephen Bond [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Henrik, thank you for the reference.
