Dear all R users, I have a query on "Edit" function. Suppose I have a data frame named "data". I can use EDIT function to see the materials contained in data, by using the command: > edit(data) But when I close the window then again the materials contained in data is displayed in the command window. But I do not want to see these materials again. Can anyone give me any idea on how to do this?

fix(data) will invoke edit(data) and store changes you make in data without displaying anything. stat stat schrieb:> Dear all R users, > > I have a query on "Edit" function.

If you want to change the data,_fix_ will be a good option.But if you just want to browse the data ,then invisible(edit(data)) is better one.

I use a simple-minded, dirty wrapper on edit:
view <- function(x) {
warnopt <- options()$warn
options(warn=-1)
on.exit({sink(); options(warn=warnopt)})
edit(x)
invisible()
}
I say "dirty", because sometimes the output is re-directed from stdout
somewhere else as an unintended side effect, which is why I have the first
sink() statement in there. (Note the help file on sink() advises in numerous
places on using sink()-related calls with care.) I have not been ambitious
enough to make the above version robust and well-understood, as it works
well for me nearly every time, and when it does not, the side effect and
cleanup is neither damaging nor annoying enough.
Also, I have only really used this under Windows R GUI.
Hope that helps,
Bill
