R help - Dec 2010 - Browsing through a dataframe page by page (like with shell command more)

Hello,

I'm looking for an easy way to display a data.frame (or other variables)
page by page, similarly to what is possible on a file using the more command
in a standard UNIX shell. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Alexandre

How about View(mydata)? See help('View').

For data frames the best is probably the View function (note capitol V) which
opens the data frame in a spreadsheet like window that you can scroll through.

For more complicated, list or list-like objects, look at TkListView in the
TeachingDemos package.

For more general investigation of data objects look at ?page and ?options
specifically the "pager" section.
