WrappereR

WrappereR is a universal wrapper for command line programs for R. Instead of creating individual R wrappers for command line programs, you can use WrappereR to wrap literally any command line executable.

Examples

ls

ls <- wrapperer('ls')

ls('-l ~/Downloads')

-rw-r--r--@  1 austin  staff  23659951 Jun  5 07:36 AIM_Install.dmg
drwxr-xr-x   2 austin  staff        68 Aug 18 23:20 music
drwxr-xr-x   5 austin  staff       170 Sep 13 23:32 cat-pictures

curl

curl <- wrapperer('curl')

# get your current IP address
curl('https://icanhazip.com')
188.184.37.205

brew

# make some cows
brew <- wrapperer('brew')

brew('install cowsay')

cowsay <- wrapperer('cowsay')
cowsay('"hello, world!"')

Prints:

 _______________
< hello, world! >
 ---------------
        \   ^__^
         \  (oo)\_______
            (__)\       )\/\
                ||----w |
