Hi, I'm writing a function that needs the input names (as characterstrings) as part of the output. With deparse(substitute( ) ) that works fine, until I replace all zeros with 0.001 (log is calculated at some time): tf <- function(input) { input[input==0] <- 0.001 ; deparse(substitute(input)) } myguess <- 42 tf(myguess) # not "myguess", but &quo...

I'm able to do this as follows, but am wondering if anyone knows a simpler way which still avoids explicit loops? > (mystring <- letters[1:5]) [1] "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" > unlist(sapply(mystring[-length(mystring)], + function(x) paste(x,mystring[(grep(x,mystring)+1):length(mystring)],sep=""))) a1 a2 a3

Hello,   I have a dataframe: dd <- data.frame(b = c("chr2", "chr1", "chr15", "chr13"),         x = c("A", "D", "A", "C"), y = c(8, 3, 9, 9),         z = c(1, 1, 1, 2))   >dd       b x y z 1  chr2 A 8 1 2  chr1 D 3 1 3 chr15 A 9 1 4 chr13 C 9 2 Now I want to sort them according column "b", but only its

Date-Time-Stamp input method to correctly interpret user-specific formats:coding is 90% there - based on exmple at http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/02/12003.html ...anyone got the last 10% please? CONTEXT: Data is received where one of the columns is a datetimestamp. At midnight, the value represented as text in this column consists of just the date part, e.g.
