Hello, The history function doesn't seems to work when I am working with R. I have a .Rhistory file in my working directory and I have tried savehistory(file = ".Rhistory") or the command given in the history help : .Last <- function() if(interactive()) try(savehistory(".Rhistory")) and I get the same error message Error in savehi...

...e done: R>Preferences>Startup>History: Read history file on startup is checked; R history file directory is specified with a path to my preferred directory (~/Documents/...). I've tried it with the default setting, too--it makes no difference. I've checked the permissions on the .Rhistory file. The default .Rhistory file created by R has the permissions set at -rw-r--r--. I've moved the .Rhistory file to a different location (Desktop), so that R would create a new one. Makes no difference--command history is still empty at startup. R has kept track of history on my system in t...

...a few questions that I have not been able to figure out despite a lot of reading. 1) Adding a title to a multiplot figure: If I plot multiple plots with >par(mfrow=c(2,6)) how do I add an overall title to the figure, not the individual plots? 2) Saving histories on the fly: Is there a .Rhistory equivalent to >save.image() ? I would like to be able to save the .RData and .Rhistory files and move to another machine. Right now I have to quit R which looses the plots I am working on. 3) Setting the size .Rhistory: What is the maximum size of .Rhistory and where is it set? Thanks in...

If you start Rterm/Rgui from the cmd (NT4.4) command line, the .Rhistory and .RData files are created/used in the current directory. I think, R should honor HOME or even the USERPROFILE variable. Regards Karl PS: is this the correct list for such reports or would it be better to use r-devel? -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-....

......\data\raw ...\data\derived ...\prog ...\lst ...\log In the \prog directory I have put an RGui.exe shortcut and "pointed it" at \prog as the "Start In" location. In the same directory I have created .Rprofile and .Renviron per the rw-FAQ. In \log I have created .Rhistory. .Renviron sets up several directory references that allow me to "point" R at the \lst, \log, \data\derived, and \data\raw directories without using full pathnames. My three questions: (1) Is it possible to have R use \data\derived as its default data storage location? (2) R...

Thanks for any info Jake

# # r-bugs@r-project.org # ###################################################### Because I work in different directories, but always want to save my .Rhistory in the same place, I have changed the system function savehistory to this: function (file = "D:/R50/.Rhistory") invisible(.Internal(savehistory(file))) When I use q() to quit R, and it asks me whether I want to "save current workspace", a response of YES means that the .Rhist...

Hi all, I've ecountered a problem in the last few days with my .Rhistory file not being able to be updated when I quit an R session because its file attributes under Windows have been set as "Hidden". Recently, I put the following line in my global Rprofile file:- history(max.show=Inf) so that I automatically open the entire history file for a project when I...

Dear R'ers, I use R version 2.10.1 (2009-12-14) Copyright (C) 2009 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing ISBN 3-900051-07-0 and Mac OS X 10.5.8 and use to work in different dierectories. When doing so it appears as if the .Rhistory file from my home directory always is loaded even when I want the file from the directory where I'm working. I have tried to fix it through preferences under R but ... How should this be tweeked? Fredrik ######################## Fredrik Lundgren fredrik.bg.lundgren at gmail.com Engelbrektsg...

It seems that when I choose not to save the workspace, R then chooses not to update the command history saved in the file .Rhistory. I can see a rationale for this, but I find it annoying; I might well want to be able to get at previous commands, even if I don't want to keep the objects created by these commands. Is there anyway of changing this behaviour --- i.e. to get R to save the commands but not the workspace?...

Hi, It seems simple but I could not find the solution on the R site. I can't save properly ".RData" and ".Rhistory" in Windows 7 folders. I get files with no extension.

I have an environment variable `$R_HISTFILE` pointing to `/home/my.username/.RHistory` and the following code in my `.Rprofile` in my home directory: .Last <- function() { if (!any(commandArgs()=='--no-readline') && interactive()){ require(utils) try(savehistory(Sys.getenv("R_HISTFILE")))...

A quick summary. The reported problem appears to be with (some) previous histories. If you find that neither up arrow nor ctrl-P work in the Rgui console, please delete .Rhistory and try again. We don't know the exact cause, and nothing I can think of can reproduce this. I have no problem taking histories made with rw1001 and reading them in rw1010 and vice versa. If the .Rhistory is really important, you could try reading it into an editor and adding a couple of blan...

When I close R and answer yes to save workspace, R automatically loads it and apparently also the command history at start up. I would like to know where R stores this information. I know that I can save .RData and .Rhistory files, but I would like to know how(where) R stores this information automatically. I have not found any .RData or .Rhistory files associated with start up. I am running 2.15.3 on Ubuntu operating system on PC (Zorin). If there is a difference between Windows and Debian, I will also ask the Debian...

...and then in Finder I doubleclick temp.RData. Then an R GUI session opens up. But this approach has the following limitations. (a) .First function has not been run. I must manually type .First() at the R prompt. (b) The commands I type at the R prompt do not go into history.txt. (c) A brand new .Rhistory file is created, clobbering any previously existing .Rhistory file. (d) The commands I type at the R prompt do not go into .Rhistory. That is, after I quit R with the option "save workspace image", the brand new .Rhistory file in my directory does not contain the commands I typed. Is R...
