icesTAF (version 3.1-1)

sourceTAF: Run TAF Script

Description

Run a TAF script and return to the original directory.

Usage

sourceTAF(script, rm = FALSE, clean = TRUE, quiet = FALSE)

Arguments

script

script filename.

rm

whether to remove all objects from the global environment before and after the script is run.

clean

whether to clean the target directory before running the script.

quiet

whether to suppress messages reporting progress.

Value

TRUE or FALSE, indicating whether the script ran without errors.

Details

The default value of rm = FALSE is to protect users from accidental loss of work, but the TAF server always runs with rm = TRUE to make sure that only files, not objects, are carried over between scripts.

Likewise, the TAF server runs with clean = TRUE to make sure that the script starts with a clean directory. The target directory of a TAF script has the same filename prefix as the script: data.R creates data etc.

See Also
