I dont know if that's the best way but here's what I
do:
********************************
...Stata code...
save myStataFile,replace
winexec "C:\Program Files\R\rw2010\bin\R.exe" CMD
BATCH "c:\\...\\program_in_R.r"
"c:\\...\\results_from_R.txt"
... Stata code continues possibly reading results from
R_results.dta (see below)
*************************************
R can read and write Stata files so your R code could
look like this :
library(foreign)
test<-read.dta("c:\\...\\myStataFile.dta")
... R code ...
write.dta(as.data.frame(mod1$coefficients$fixed),"c:\\...\\R_results.dta")
I hope this helps
