Hello,
I am a newbie.
I can run the following code stored in "test.txt" without error using
my
XP machine:
x <- scan("C:\\Rwork\\A.txt")
x10 = filter(x, rep(1/10,10), sides=1)
x
x10
for(i in 10:length(x)){
if (x[i] > x10[i]) diff[i]="b" else diff[i]="s"
}
However, if I run it in another PC that uses Windows 7, the following
error occurs:
> source("c:\\Rwork\\test.txt")
Read 290 items
Error in diff[i] = "b" : object of type 'closure' is not
subsettable
I am using R 2.9.2.
Thank you for your help.
Alan

Its likely that in one of your sessions you do have a diff and in the other you don't and this has nothing to do with XP vs. Windows 7. In the session with no diff, the only diff around is the function, diff, and you can't subscript a function. Try this to see what variables are in your workspace: ls() On Sun, Jan 17, 2010 at 4:40 AM, Tse Ching Biu, Alan (MKT) <alan at baf.msmail.cuhk.edu.hk> wrote:> Hello, > > I am a newbie. > > I can run the following code stored in "test.txt" without error using my > XP machine: > > x <- scan("C:\\Rwork\\A.txt") > x10 = filter(x, rep(1/10,10), sides=1) > x > x10 > for(i in 10:length(x)){ > if (x[i] > x10[i]) diff[i]="b" else diff[i]="s" > } > > However, if I run it in another PC that uses Windows 7, the following > error occurs: > >> source("c:\\Rwork\\test.txt") > Read 290 items > Error in diff[i] = "b" : object of type 'closure' is not subsettable > > I am using R 2.9.2. > > Thank you for your help. > > Alan > > ? ? ? ?[[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. >
Hello Alan, Following up on Gabor's suggestion, if you have different packages loaded, one of those packages could have a function 'diff' that would not show up with a call to ls() so you could also try search() which will show you what packages are loaded.
