In RStudio, is it possible to have a code chunk that sends commands to the terminal (specifically Windows CMD prompt)? I know that I can use the command prompt via the "Terminal" tab in RStudio, but I would like to write these commands in a code chunk within a larger RMarkdown document. This way, when I click "Run All", the commands are sent automatically at the appropriate time.

    The `system()`, `shell()`, or `system2()` commands (depending on your scenario) will all execute system commands from within R. – danh Oct 18 '21 at 22:28

  • Thanks, @danh, I was able to make it work using `shell()` – CFD Oct 20 '21 at 12:04
