RData Files

[Michael Smith]

Is it possible to deal with binary files in Drake, specifically .RData files in R? Something like this (I think this will not work verbatim, it's just meant as an illustration of what I have in mind): 

out.RData <- in.RData [shell]

  Rscript --vanilla myscript.R $INPUT > $OUTPUT

Importantly, I don't want to run inline R from within Drake, but myscript.R instead.

Yes, that should work fine. To put it generally, you are able to run any arbitrary shell command as a [shell] step in your Drake worflow

Thanks, actually, after trying it out on a mini example, I think the `>`
in my code below should be omitted.
