In my .Rprofile I have the following functions which display the current directory in the main R window title bar, and modify base::setwd() to keep this up to date. I like this because I can always tell where I am in the file system. cd <- function(dir) { base::setwd(dir) utils::setWindowTitle( short.path(base::getwd()) ) } short.path <- function(dir, len=2) { np <-length(parts <- unlist(strsplit(dir, '/'))) parts <-rev( rev(parts)[1:min(np,len)] ) dots <- ifelse (np>len, '...', '') paste(dots,paste(parts, '/', sep='&...

¡Hola! ¿Alguien sabe si existe una función en R que devuelve el nombre del área de trabajo (workspace) en uso si éste ha sido guardado anteriormente? Con getwd() R me devuelve la carpeta de trabajo, pero si en ésta tengo varios áreas de trabajo guardados, p.e. a.RData y b.RData, ¿cómo podría saber en cuál estoy trabajando si por un despiste no me acordara cuál he abierto anteriormente (sin tener

I hope others may find this useful. I use R in many different directories. By adding the following line to the .Rprofile file: utils:::setWindowTitle(paste("-",getwd())) the titlebar of each R instance shows the directory from which it was started. I have tested this with rterm.exe and rgui.exe under Windows and with RECENT versions of R only. ----- For changing directories during a session, I use the following function, a slight...

In the windows version (RGui), is there a way to set the text displayed in the titlebar of the R window? When I have 2 instances of RGui running, it would be helpul if the titlebar could help to understand which is which. -- Erich Neuwirth, Computer Supported Didactics Working Group Visit our SunSITE at http://sunsite.univie.ac.at Phone: +43-1-4277-38624 Fax: +43-1-4277-9386

This may be Windows specific, so not appropriate for this List... Currently, when I'm in console of Rgui, the status bar says a simple message "R majer ver. minor ver. - A Language and Environment" which I know. When I'm in plot area, it says "R Graphics" which I know, again. I think it is very useful if statusbars says current directory, because in my daily use I

I'd like to control my namespace thoroughly, separated by task. Is there a way, in R session, to introduce namespaces for tasks dynamically and switch them as needed? Or, is there a combination of load/save workspace steps which can facilitate this? Cheers, Alexy

Dear Fellow R Users, I have recently come across a weird problem with help.search: > help.search("tps") Error in rbind(...) : number of columns of matrices must match (see arg 8) > This happens no matter what I search for... Any thoughts ? Thanks, Tolga Please follow the attached hyperlink to an important disclaimer

Is it possible to replace the word "R Console" on the title bar (is it what it's called? It's the blue area above menu bar) with the name of the work space file you're using or loaded, so people who are runing multple R sessions at same time can identify them immediately. I'm using 1.9.0 in SDI mode. Thanks, ...Tao
