Hi , I am programming on a windows system and have problems using notepad which is my main editor.Each time I try to open the editor from the R IDE, R crashes. So I always have to copy my codes from notepad and paste in R to run them. CAn someone tell me if I am doing anything wrong or is there a better editor(freeware) which I could get. thanks cilver ========================Sylvie B.

Hi, I can recommend two editors: - Emacs/XEmacs in conjunction with the ESS-package (ESS= Emacs Speaks Statistics). It is free software. However, it takes a while until it is working nicely - especially if you have no experience with Emacs/XEmacs. One of the nice features is that you can run R from within XEmacs (I guess also within Emacs, but I am using XEmacs). Some URLs: http://www.gnu.org/directory/text/editors/emacs.html http://www.xemacs.org http://stat.ethz.ch/ESS/ - WinEdt is not freeware but I think it is a nice working environment if you include Uwe Ligges' plug-in which can be accessed from: http://cran.r-project.org/contrib/extra/winedt/ Best thing is probably to download the shareware version of WinEdt (from www.winedt.com), include the R-WinEdt-plug-in and try out if this setting suits you.

That's happens for every editor. Why don't you start your favorite editor in another way?

One thing that might be happening: if you use edit(myfunction) then Notepad will start, and R will wait for it to finish before doing anything else. It hasn't crashed, but it looks like it has until you shut down Notepad. Duncan Murdoch
In addition to WinEdt and (X)Emacs of course, See also, http://www.crimsoneditor.com/ (freeware) http://www.jedit.org/ (freeware) http://www.editpadpro.com/ (non-freeware) I know that there exist Syntax Highlighting files for R, but I don't know where you can find them. best, vito ----- Original Message ----- From: forkusam <forkusam at yahoo.com> To: <r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch> Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2003 11:56 AM Subject: [R] r editors> Hi , > I am programming on a windows system and have problems > using notepad which is my main editor.Each time I try > to open the editor from the R IDE, R crashes. > So I always have to copy my codes from notepad and > paste in R to run them. > CAn someone tell me if I am doing anything wrong or is > there a better editor(freeware) which I could get. > thanks > cilver > > ====> ====================> Sylvie B.

I can also recommend another editor (for the Windows platform) that is
freeware and comes with syntax highlighting for R and a variety of other
languages. It called SourceEdit. It is a wonderful editor by Joacim
Anderson and I highly recommend it. You can download it from:

Hi,
I can recommend two editors:
- Emacs/XEmacs in conjunction with the ESS-package (ESS= Emacs Speaks
Statistics). It is free software. However, it takes a while until it is
working nicely - especially if you have no experience with Emacs/XEmacs.
One
of the nice features is that you can run R from within XEmacs (I guess
also
within Emacs, but I am using XEmacs).
Some URLs:
http://www.gnu.org/directory/text/editors/emacs.html
http://www.xemacs.org
http://stat.ethz.ch/ESS/
- WinEdt is not freeware but I think it is a nice working environment if
you
include Uwe Ligges' plug-in which can be accessed from:
http://cran.r-project.org/contrib/extra/winedt/
Best thing is probably to download the shareware version of WinEdt (from
www.winedt.com), include the R-WinEdt-plug-in and try out if this setting
suits you.
Best,
Roland

What you want to do is startup up a second window/process
separately from R so you have R open in one window and your
editor open in another window. When you make a change to
the source, just write it out without closing the editor,
move to the R window and then source it from R:
source("/abc.r")
You can grab this line from the command history using up arrow
so you don't actually have to type it except the first time.
That way you can easily go back and forth between R and your
editor. This should work with notepad or with any other
editor.
While we are on the topic of editors, the free gvim editor
available at:
http://www.vim.org
has R syntax highlighting. It is vi enhanced with a GUI,
more powerful command set, and cross platform availability
including Windows (which is where I used it). There is
also an alternate user interface for it, which I have not
used, called cream, available at:
http://cream.sourceforge.net

I may be a bit late in replying, but there is another editor which is shareware and has highlighting for R (and a lot of other languages as well). The TextPad: http://www.texpad.com http://www.textpad.com/add-ons/files/syntax/r.zip I use in many ways possible. I also combine it with the source statement in R, as was suggested by Gabor. I have nothing but the best to tell about the TextPad.
