[R] Does the perl language have an equivalent to browser?
I'm asking on this list because the question will be more easily understood than on a Perl list. Lots of talented people using R also know how to use Perl, so it's easier to ask them. Running a Perl script with the -d switch can do some pretty neat things, but as far as I can tell, every line has to be done individually. Is there a way to specify where to stop in the way browser() does in the S language? best -- Patrick Connolly HortResearch Mt Albert Auckland New Zealand Ph: +64-9 815 4200 x 7188 ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ I have the world`s largest collection of seashells.

I don't know exactly what browser() does, but when you run perl -d use the c command to follow through the script: c <linenumber> # continue until reaching line <linenumber> Or, set one or more breakpoints: b <linenumber> b <sub name> and then use: c to continue to the next breakpoint. Use d to delete a breakpoint. Answers to this and much more can be found using perldoc perldebug. ap ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J Perrin - http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin Assistant Professor of Sociology, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill clists at perrin.socsci.unc.edu * andrew_perrin (at) unc.edu On Fri, 4 Oct 2002, Patrick Connolly wrote:> I'm asking on this list because the question will be more easily > understood than on a Perl list.
