Hi, I am using Windows NT, R 1.6.2. I try to use command "Rcmd" in my DOS window, but when I typed in "Rcmd BATCH" in the "bin" directory of R, it can not be recognized. Showing is: D:\Program Files\Rma\bin>Rcmd BATCH The name specified is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. How should I use Rcmd command? Thanks. Po

Hi Po, do you have the program "rcmd" on your computer? Probably not - normally you have to get it separately. Here, from the Windows FAQ, how you can also run R in batch mode with rterm.exe: 2.9 Can I use R BATCH? Yes, if you have Perl and the files for making source packages (from rw1062.exe) installed. The Windows analogue is Rcmd BATCH: use Rcmd BATCH --help for full details. Otherwise you can set up a batch file using Rterm.exe. A sample batch file might contain (as one line) path_to_R\bin\Rterm.exe --no-restore --no-save < %1 > %1.out Best - ---------------------------------------- Wolfgang Huber Division of Molecular Genome Analysis German Cancer Research Center Heidelberg, Germany ---------------------------------------- On Mon, 10 Mar 2003, Zhao, Po wrote: > Hi, > > I am using Windows NT, R 1.6.2.

Thanks for your email. If I just enter "Rterm.exe", a R session will start with R prompt. If I enter "Rterm.exe --no-restore --no-save < %1 > %1.out", shown is: D:\Program Files\Rma\bin>Rterm.exe --no-restore --no-save < %1 > %1.out The system cannot find the file specified. Where can I download Rcmd program? Thanks.

Rcmd.exe should be in the same directory as Rterm.exe and Rgui.exe, i.e. the "bin" directory under where you installed R.
