[BlindRUG] Is here any JAWS Script for R?

[Godfrey, Jonathan]

Hello.
When I first got into R in a serious fashion, I wanted JAWS scripts too. I did actually get some sorted but they went stale after R was updated a few times. That was way back in version 1.7.1 or thereabouts.

If you're starting to get irritated by what is fairly minimal output being generated by R then it's probably time to stop working interactively and move to scripting in one way or another.

The two ways I think people ought to move into are the standard R scripts = text files of commands with the convention of using .R as the extension, or using R markdown which is again a text file but contains code chunks and regular text written in markdown. I intend to make a lot more noise about R markdown at a later (but not so far off) time.

As soon as you move to writing R scripts, you'll probably want to process them efficiently.

I've written a little batch file that pulls in a file and processes it in R, with the output file having the default .Rout extension. This output file is just plain text so any graphs that are created in the script must be saved explicitly. I'll share that batch file off list as I need to supply a .exe file that drags the current R version number from the registry so my batch file doesn't fall over as soon as I update R. Windows users can write to me off list for that.

Subject: [BlindRUG] Is here any JAWS Script for R?

Hello All,
  I found I could use JAWS cursor for reviewing R GUI (the default program installed on your desktop).
But, the terminal window contained other information that I did not want to hear, and seemed like I needed to write JAWS script in order to address this.
  I would like to use GUI version than R terminal.
 Does anyone have JAWS script for R GUI console window? If so, could you please share it?
  Best Regards,

       JY
