Skills Sharing: Batch files to graph with R
Why should I use a batch file?
- Any R script can be run without opening R
- Can output figures
- Can be automated to run daily
Challenges:
- Batch files run natively on Windows OS
Example on Windows 7:
Two files are needed
- The R script (ex. helloworld.R)
- The batch file should be saved as "NAME.bat". It will be a text file that contains the following code (substitute path directories where necessary).
"C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.2\bin\x64\R.exe" CMD BATCH "D:\user\...\helloworld.r" "D:\...\helloworld.out”
