R help - Sep 2010 - R Console - pasting into

For some reason, I have trouble pasting commands into the R Console (XP Pro and
R v 2.11.1). This occurs mainly when copying from a PDF document and then
pasting into the R Console. It will work for a while and then stop. It is
difficult to identify what the sequence is prior to it not allowing further
commands to be pasted into the R Console.

Yes, the commands can be copied from the PDF into Notepad. However, after I have
posted into the R Console for some time, it will not allow me to continue to do
this, but I can type commands in (which can be frustrating when wanting to copy
from another source). When it hangs, as described, I can still copy from the PDF
into Notepad, but not from Notepad into the R Console, though I am still able to
type commands in R Console. This means that it is not only a PDF but Notepad,
which implies that the problem rests with the R Console.

Any ideas would be welcomed.

Hi Troy,

If you are using the R GUI for Windows, I highly recommend just
copying and pasting everything into the accompanying script editor,
and then you can run the commands you want directly from there.

The Windows clipboard can be finicky sometimes, so I would not be too
hasty to think the problem rests with the R console.  You can also try
pasting using the mouse (this is actually what you have to do with the
Windows command prompt...), or using Shift+Insert as an alternate to
Ctrl + v.

Best of luck,

Josh

Thank you, Joshua -- great name by the way; he was a Biblical champ! -- fro
your suggestion. Sorry about the belated response. Nope, even the script
editor will not allow pastes (after the R Console has also refused to allow
pastes). I do agree that it is probably not R but W XP.

Cheers
Troy
