Hello, I got a new computer, and am trying to reinstall R and have run into a bit of a problem when running the BATCH command. For reference, the OS is Windows Vista, 64 bit. I installed R 2.8.1 and have the 4-3 files from the following link extracted with the containing folder in my system PATH variable. However, when I try to run the following command from the dos prompt: Rcmd BATCH TestBatch.R testoutput.txt Note: TestBatch.R is simply a file containing the statement: print("hello world") I get the error: \Common was unexpected at this time. If anyone can provide any insight into this problem, I would really appreciate it as I thought I remembered all the steps from when I set this all up on my old computer... Thanks, Brigid

My apologies, the files version 4-3 files I downloaded came from the link: http://cran.r-project.org/contrib/extra/batchfiles 2009/3/27 Uwe Ligges <ligges at statistik.tu-dortmund.de>:> > > Brigid Mooney wrote: >> >> Hello, >> >> I got a new computer, and am trying to reinstall R and have run into a >> bit of a problem when running the BATCH command. >> For reference, the OS is Windows Vista, 64 bit. >> >> I installed R 2.8.1 and have the 4-3 files from the following link >> extracted with the containing folder in my system PATH variable. > > Can you explain the sentence above, please? > What is 4-3?
