Dear R-help, I think I have kinda isolated the problem I had to the following: i <- 0 while( {i <- i + 1} < 5) { if(i < 3) next print(i) } This seems to go into an infinite loop. After I break the execution, i has the value 1. At the R prompt, if I start from i <- 0 and keep typing {i <- i + 1} < 5, it eventually evaluate to TRUE. So why does the while loop not work?

Prof. Tierney, Thanks very much for the info. Why does the loop work if I move the assignment out of the condition? E.g., the following works: i <- 0 while(i < 5) { i <- i + 1 if(i < 3) next print(i) } Regards, Andy > -----Original Message----- > From: Luke Tierney [mailto:luke at nokomis.stat.umn.edu] > Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2001 3:36 PM > To: Liaw, Andy

I need to reliably boot a server from a USB device. Since USB device ordering can be unpredictable, I wrote a simple early-userspace "init" program to find the root FS on the correct USB device & partition. I have "labeled" the root ext2 FS on the USB drive, and the program searches for the label by examining the bytes at a specific offset from the beginning of the

I am attempting to iterate over a file, processing it line by line. In my function below, I am only getting the first item over and over and over again from my test file rather than subsequent lines. How can I modify this to read lines sequentially? == iteratefile <- function(file) { f.con <- file(file) on.exit(close(f.con)) while( length(readln <- readLines(f.con, 1)) > 0 ) {

Hi, I am a retired telephone tech/manager who recently had a bad experience with a local company offering digital phone service (VoIP). I have spent the last thirty years in the PSTN network, switching, PBX and key system field and am interested in learning more about VoIP. My background also includes programming, mostly specialized applications to interact with the PSTN network. Most of my

All, I am a FreePascal programmer. I am making a Pascal-based application now, and want to use vorbis as its sound files. What should I do so that I can use libvorbis with FreePascal? (Actually, I use Lazarus as the Windows development environment) Thanks. -- Comodo Firewall Pro -- Powerful & Free, Forever! Visit www.comodo.com Support patent-free audio! Visit www.playogg.org Use

Hello everyone. I am not sure if this is the right place to post, please redirect me if there is a mailinglist more specifically dealing with prototype.js. After playing around with the very inspiring prototype library I have found a rather annoying thing, that makes the usefulness of the Enumerable mixin for Hashes questionable, if I am not totally wrong (again :-). Here an example:

Hi Everyone, Those of you who have a simple home-based Asterisk box might be interested in a "simple" Win32 (Win2K or WinXP) interface to the AMI manager. The quick-start versions merely require unzipping with NO Installation - hence, NO Uninstall (i.e., no registry writes at any time by the install nor by the program). (Unfortunately) the INSTALL version does write to the

Dear list members I am pleased to annonce that I have just finished a native Excel reader/writer. It's wrapped up in two packages: either "xlsReadWrite" (open source) or the slightly beefed-up "xlsReadWritePro" (shareware). Working with Excel data is now as easy as writing read.xls and write.xls. Some more details: - Infos and download: http://treetron.googlepages.com -

Hi Jonas. I'm very interested in an llvm backend for freepascal. Could you give some more details? Is there already something to try and test? Will the code be avaiable on svn?

Hey all, After figuring out a problem with AGI and freepascal, I have finished writing a small Cepstral (http://www.cepstral.com) AGI app. I wrote a small readme for it at http://www.datatrakpos.com/misc/dial/readme.txt. I'd like to give it to the community (source/binary) and was wondering where to post it? The wiki? Also, anyone have suggestion on licensing? LGPL? FreeBSD? Thanks

All I realise that this isn''t strictly the correct place to discuss the prototype lib but being as scriptaculous is dependent on it I thought people might have some opinions. Easier to explain with the example below, copy into a html file and ensure the path to prototype.js is correct. You''ll see the first example prints an extra element "extend" when iterating over

Hi all, I encountered a big problem when trying to use Scriptaculous and Htmlarea in the same page. The Htmlarea code uses a lot of "for (var i in array_variable)" to iterate on array elements. Problem is that prototype.js augments Array.prototype, which then show up in the iteration, severely breaking htmlarea. The easy workaround is for sure to use "for (var i = 0; i <

Prof. Gentleman (and R-help), Here's an example of what didn't work. I still don't understand why. Function: trycon <- function(file, n) { f.con <- file(file, open="rt") on.exit(close(f.con)) i <- 0 while( length(readln <- readLines(f.con, 1)) > 0 ) { x <- unlist(strsplit(readln, " ")) if(length(x) <= 6 && x[3] ==

Hello, I'm looking into creating an llvm backend for the Free Pascal Compiler (<http://www.freepascal.org>). After reading a bit through the documentation and looking at some code generated by llvm-gcc, I have a couple of questions: 1) is there a way to specify ranges in the switch statement? Pascal supports switch statements (called "case" statements there) which

Hello, I tried to run a program written in Delphi in wine and it ran quite perfectly, but sadly there was one important detail that made using it impossible... It seems that wine has a problem with the text inputs (edits). They are "string" datatypes (8 bit ansi string), and not null terminated. The problem was showing itself e.g. at the login form of the program. The password I

Hi, Has anyone done any AGI scripting in pascal. I would appreciate help anyone can offer. My understandin on AGI scripting is very flaky, I am assuming whatever language is used the application needs to be compile and made executable. So if I write a script in pascal, I would compile it with something like freepascal and make it executable. Thanks Umar Sear

Hi, I'm a Linux newbie. I've been doing novice level programming on Delphi win32 for about 2 years, and recently, I've been exploring freepascal/Lazarus on Ubuntu because I want to port a small win32 application to Windows. I've managed to port over most aspects of the win32 app, including database, but I'm now stuck at trying to find a Linux equivalent of the netapi32 (a
