Hi there! Im currently struggling to create a build system to construct pdf using “pdflatex”. The two commands I use to build my pdfs are : Rscript -e “library(knitr); knit(‘file.Rnw’)” & pdflatex file.tex. When trying to create a build system, i have started with:
{
“cmd”: “Rscript -e “library(knitr); knit(’$file’)””
}
This come up with the error “Error: ‘\U’ used without hex digits in character string starting “'C:\U” Execution halted”. I feel the error is to do with JSON Escape strings but i’m not aware how to solve this.
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!
EDIT 1:
For clarification I am running this on a Windows 10 PC and shell_cmd has made no difference
EDIT 2:
Having no spaces in the directory that my RNW file is saved does not seem to make a difference either.
