similar to: save history only option under Linux

Hi, I run the following command and try to save the commands that have been run in the script. But it seems that no history is recorded. Is it because that the history is not recorded in Rscript? Regards, Peng $ Rscript savehistory.R > f=tempfile() > f [1] "/tmp/Rtmp7WBjGG/file327b23c6" > history() Error in savehistory(file) : no history available to save Calls: history ->

Hi all, Are there any plans to add more functionality to command-line editing and history editing on the command line? In MATLAB (I know, comparisons are odious ...), you can type "p" and up-arrow on the command line and scroll through the recently entered commands beginning with "p". This is a very useful feature and something that I believe is not replicated in R. Please

Hi, > history() gives Error in savehistory(file) : no history available to save although I can scroll throu history with C^uparrow an C^downarrow. How can I make history() work and/or show the current history in a file, so that I can choose from previous commands? The web did not throw up anything useful. TIA --Christian -- Christian W. Hoffmann, CH - 8915 Hausen am Albis,

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"))) } }

But that doesn't put the result into the history buffer, to be written to a file only later when I savehistory(filename). Bert Gunter also suggested ?capture.output and ?textConnection, but I cannot see how to get text into the history buffer as comments, but with evaluated expressions (values). I know how to use paste, sink, write, etc. but nothing that I can see inserts into the history

Dear R-Helpers, I'm fiddling with my .Rprofile in Windows XP & R 2.7.0 Beta. I prefer to manually save my workspace but automatically save my command history via the .Rprofile. That is working fine once I found that "utils::" was required before the loadhistory & savehistory functions. What I would like to do is add a separator line with a date between the histories of each

Hi Everyone, I am a beginner running R 2.9.2 under Ubuntu and typically use Emacs w/ESS. However, I am confused with history() command. When I issue command history() in Emacs within an R session, this is what get: > history() Error in savehistory(file) : no history available to save Similarly, history(max=10) command gives the same error message. However, there is this In/Out Menu in the

Hi, Obviously history() will only work with readline installed: so far I have not been able to find working advice for installing and enabling readline on MacOSX. > sessionInfo() R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0/x86_64 (64-bit) locale: [1] C attached base packages: [1] tools tcltk stats4 splines parallel datasets compiler [8] graphics

Hi, Sometimes I need to consult the history of commands that are matching a regex, so I modified the utils::history function for that purpose. I found it useful. I append the code ( I only added the two lines with #**) Romain. history2 <- function (pattern="", max.show = 25, reverse = FALSE, unique = pattern!="", ...) { file1 <- tempfile("Rrawhist")

I have compiled R under Solaris 7 (SunOS 5.7) with the readline-4.0 library linked. Command line editing appears to work, but I cannot access command history. If I execute several commands in R, then type "history()", I get the error message "Error in savehistory(file) : no history available to save". Also, previous command recall (C-p) does not seem to work. I am invoking

I know that at the end of an R session I'm given the option to save the current *state* of the session. But I would like to save the entire sequence of inputs that took place during the session, so that I can play them back later, and not only be left in the same state I was at the time of saving the session, but be able to see the entire history of the session (inputs and outputs). (This is

Hello, Im running R 1.8.1 on Win2000 and frequently using the function history() to keep track of what I did in my R session. In a recent session I typed history(max=Inf) and to my surprise there were only 15 lines of code where there should have been approx. 300 lines and I lost a lot of valuable work. Do you have any idea what caused this behaviour? help(history) didn't make me any

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

Why would R lack history capability? Someone in a private electronic mail message suggested the possibility that I was running R in a non-writable directory. This is not the case, as the following logfile shows (where "$ " is my shell prompt): $ ls -ld `pwd` drwxrwxrwx 15 sys sys 2560 Apr 30 08:10 /tmp $ R --vanilla R : Copyright 2002, The R Development Core Team

# # 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

Dear R users: I would like to know whether or not there is some auxiliary function for the Windows Port that emulates Rgui's Fille|Save to File [menu bar] command, analogous to flush.console(). More specifically, what I want to do is to insert such a function in .Last function in .Rprofile to automatically save the contents of the console as an ASCII text file whenever I quit Rgui. Or is

Thanks-- as Duncan Murdoch also noted, R_HISTFILE can be used to solve my problem, as below. BTW it's not easy to find out about R_HISTFILE in the help system or manuals, though, unless you already know it exists-- it only seems to be described under startup options, not things to do with history. However, Duncan's reply did hint at an inconsistency, in that savehistory() defaults to

Dear R users, I have a .RData which contains .Last object as follows: .Last <- function () { savehistory(file = ".Rhistory") } In this directory, if I issue the following command Rterm --save < mycmds.q to execute commands in mycmds.q and to save results in .RData, I got the following error message towards the end of the execution: Error in savehistory(file) :

Running Version 2.6.0 GUI 1.21. Generally, I enjoy working with the OSX GUI, which has some very pleasant features. Kudos to the developers! There is a nice history panel which slides out of the Console window. The buttons on the panel work as expected. I am puzzled by the behavior of history() and savehistory() run from the Console window. I would think that these functions would view and

History files saved using nFile Save History do not open when using File Load History. I notice that when they are saved they do not seem to have a file extension and there is no option to chose an extension. Is this a problem. Other than this it seems so simple that I can't see what the problem is. I've tried using loadhistory and savehistory with the same problems. The syntax guide
