Is there any way to search the console during an interactive session? I've looked and looked, and can not find one. In some add-on package, maybe? Sorry to be so basic, but help would be greatly appreciated. andrewH -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Searching-the-console-tp3797884p3797884.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Hi Andrew, If you use http://ess.r-project.org/ just go to the R buffer and type: C-s (CTRL + s) which will let you search through the console. You can use C-M-s (CTRL + ALT + s) if you want to search using regular expressions.

Hi Andrew, maybe history() helps you? It also allows pattern search (using grep internally). hth.

I'm not at all certain what you wish to search: R objects? Past commands? If the latter, others have offered suggestions. If the former, what about simply ls()? Or if you mean something else entirely, please clarify.

Dear Sarah--
I am thinking mainly in terms of long programs run by cut-and-past or some
other batch-like submission, where you can get back a lot of code, some
program outputs, and some error messages, all in a big lump. I want tl look
through that lump to locate all the error or warning messages, or all the
occurrences of some variable or function that seems to be causing a problem.
In both cases I want to find the result in context.
Is that clearer?
Thanks for your attention.
andrewH

Thanks Eik! I did not know about or remember history. I agree that it solves part of my problem, but I really want to be able to search my code and the things R has printed in response as a single block of text. I can cut-and-paste it into a text editor, but I was hoping that there was a way to do it from the console itself, or otherwise cut out manual steps.

searchhist = function(pattern){
histfile = tempfile()
savehistory(histfile)
myHist = readLines(file(histfile))
ret = myHist[grep(pattern, myHist)]
return(ret)
}
searchhist('data')
searchhist('^lm')
searchhist('hist')
