Run complex native scripts with a single command, similar to system commands.
The purpose of the scriptexec package is to enable quick and easy way to execute native scripts.
Simply load the library and invoke the execute
library(scriptexec)
# execute script text
output <- scriptexec::execute("echo Current Directory:\ndir")
cat(sprintf("Exit Status: %s Output: %s\n", output$status, output$output))
# execute multiple commands as a script
output <- scriptexec::execute(c("cd", "echo User Home:", "dir"))
cat(sprintf("Exit Status: %s Output: %s\n", output$status, output$output))
# pass arguments to the script, later defined as ARG1, ARG2, ...
# and also pass some env vars
output <- scriptexec::execute("echo $ARG1 $ARG2 $MYENV", args = c("TEST1", "TEST2"), env = c("MYENV=TEST3"))
cat(sprintf("%s\n", output))
# non zero status code is returned in case of errors
output <- scriptexec::execute("exit 1")
cat(sprintf("Status: %s\n", output$status))
cat(sprintf("%s\n", output))
# do not wait for command to finish
scriptexec::execute("echo my really long task", wait = FALSE)Install from CRAN:
