I've been trying to run R in Galaxy.

1. Running it as "R" is a hassle, because Galaxy cannot deal with
   source and input file and output file using "--args" and "<" (&lt; in xml) and ">" (&gt; in xml).

2. Running it through "perl" is also a hassle, because Galaxy needs to have
   an input file through the cmd line, whilst "R" needs:
   - input file (the location of it, not the content)
   - source file (.R file)
   - output file
   BUT you need to pipe -this- input for perl through to R VIA the system() call.

Anybody any luck with this?


Have you tried littler as a scripting engine?

That is only one potential solution.
