[BlindRUG] Is there any way that we could make RmdBatch file work?

[JooYoung Seo]

  This is really great Dr. Godfrey!

 

 Actually, my original intent was to make a batch file that you already
created for Rmd files work in any where.

 As you know, when a Windows system path containing backslash is rendered in
R, it returns an error. And that was the main issue that we cannot employ
RmdBatch file in any other working directories.

 

  I have attempted to fix your batch file several times to work everywhere, 

But unfortunately, any method I could recruit led to failure.

  I even saved a path that %1 passes to a separate temporary  text file, and
changed any backslashes into slashes.

  And then, render the text file in r Script, but it did not work, either.

 

  Should we just give up the RmdBatch file?

 

  Please advise me.

 

  Thank you so much.

Hello all,

 

Further to my previous message on this topic, I decided it wouldn't be that
hard to add a function to the BrailleR package to process all R markdown
files within a folder. So I did it this morning while waiting for someone to
arrive.

 

The function is called ProcessAllRmd() and is now in the development version
of BrailleR on GitHub. The command is for use inside an R session but isn't
limited to running in an interactive session. This does mean that I can
create a batch file to do the same job that will be issued outside R as per
JooYoung's initial request.

 

Re-install the package using:

   devtools::install_github("ajrgodfrey/BrailleR")

and test it please.

 

Feedback welcome of course.

 

Cheers,

Jonathan

  Dear Dr. Godfrey,

 

  I hope this email finds you well.

 

  I wish I could meet in person in Florida, but I am so sorry I won't be
able to make it because of my project here at Penn State during summer.

  I hope I can see you next time.

 

  I am writing this to ask you if there would be any way we could make
RmdBatch file work in anywhere like the RBatch file.

 

  As you know, currently it seems really tricky transfer backslash escape
character that is given from %1 argument in batch file into slash.

  I have tried to several things I could do, but all results were not
satisfactory.

 

  Alternatively, I am using my batch file for rmarkdown file like the below:

 

##Batch file begins

C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-34~1.0\bin\RScript.exe -e "rmarkdown::render(grep('*.Rmd',
list.files(), value=T))"

##Batch file ends

 

However, it works when there is only one .Rmd file in the current working
directory.

  As you see here, it is just provisional solution.

 

  Do you know how we could make it work for any executed R markdown file?

 

  Your help would be greatly appreciated.

 

  Sincerely,

 

  JooYoung
