Automate R Code Execution: Step-by-Step Guide

To automatically run code in R language, you can use the built-in function source() to execute a specified R script file. Here is a simple guide to set up R language for automatic code execution:

1. Create an R script file, such as my_script.R, and write the R code that you want to run automatically in the file.
2. Save the R script file in a location of your choice, such as C:/Users/Username/Documents/.
3. Open RStudio or R Console, and input the following command in the console to set the working directory to the location where R script files are saved:

setwd("C:/Users/Username/Documents/")

1. Can you provide the origin or source of this information?

source("my_script.R")

1. the script I wrote in R

If you want to automatically run specific code when starting R, you can edit R’s startup configuration file, .Rprofile. Simply create a text file named .Rprofile in your R working directory and write the code you want to run in the file. Remember that the code in the .Rprofile file will automatically run each time R is started.
