[esp-r] Re: Scripting and Perl

[Amar Seeam]

Thanks,

It's still not clear what command line calls I need for bps to output
CSV with a res file.

I have configured input.xml and placed it in the cfg directory, and
configured H3K reports, placed a path to xsl directory and selected CSV,
but there is no CSV file to be found.

Amar,
