Re^2: in Statistics::R, startR breaks open

Thank you for your response. You are right that if I needed to use the file, different filehandles would be useful. However, unique filehandles aren't essential, and this problem persists with unique filehandles.

Ok, it looks like startR changes the relative file path. So `... $R->startR; open FH, ">", "c:/scripts/test2.txt" or die $!; ...` [download] works fine (for me, the relative path goes to the directory "C:/Program Files/R/R-2.8.1/Statistics-R/"). I think relative path issues are discussed elsewhere. My workaround is: `#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use Cwd; use Statistics::R; my $currentdir = cwd(); my $R = Statistics::R->new(); open FH, ">", "test1.txt" or die $!; $R->startR; $R->stopR; chdir($currentdir); open FH, ">", "test2.txt" or die $!;` [download] Note: I didn't actually need to open a file while communicating with R, but that wouldn't be hard to do. Thank you again.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
