Consider all the text that one sees on the console during an R session. Is there a way, within R, to make all this text--both the "output" and the "messages"--automatically get copied to a single text file, in addition to seeing it on the console? If I remember to save the console to a file at the end of my R session, that does it. But (1) That requires pointing and

Hello list, I'm regularly in the position where I have to do a lot of data manipulation, in order to get the data I have into a format R is happy with. This manipulation would generally be in one of two forms: - getting data from e.g. text log files into a tabular format - extracting sensible sample data from a very large data set (i.e. too large for R to handle) In general, I use Perl or

Ive been following the rails recipes (great book) and wanted to have a larger a text field when editing in place. The chapter it mentions that I can "force the InPlaceEditor to create either a text ?eld or a <textarea> ?eld, using the :rows option to in_place_editor_?eld( ).
