Hello,
I am a new user of Maxima since 4 days. I work on Windows XP.
Usually I work with R but I need maxima for computer algebra functionalities.
I would like to create a script with R that
- create a file ("funcmaxima.txt") with function for maxima
- launch maxima with a this batch file
- and then take the results from a text file where maxima has write the
results (with command stringout).
I think I know how to do it but I have only one problem to launch maxima
from R.
With R, I can launch xmaxima through cmd.exe with this line:
system('"C:/Program Files/Maxima-5.9.0/bin/xmaxima.exe"')
But I do not know how to say to maxima to execute what is in the file
"funcmaxima.txt". I think I must use batch commands but do not find the
solution.
What I have read in the doc is that I must open maxima by hand and then use
the batch button with my file. I never read about a complete batch mode
(launch xmaxima and execute a scrit automatically).
Hope someone could help me,
Sincerely.
