*What I want to do: *Create a windows shortcut that will start the R gui **and** simultaneously source a file *What I have already tried: *This almost works, but it's not the interactive R GUI: R --no-save --sdi -file="C:\SomePath\example.R" These open the R GUI, but doesn't recognize -f --f --file -file RGUI --no-save --sdi -file="C:\SomePath\example.R"

Dear R2008, In Windows 2000, I used the following shell extension to allow right-click rgui start in a directory (assuming rgui.exe is on the path: ----- REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Run R] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Run R\command] @="Rgui.exe --no-restore --no-save --internet2" ---- I switched to Vista this year. For reasons I don't understand, I have

Hi I can't get R to connect to the internet. I am running R 1.7.1 on Windows XP and whenever I try to download packages etc from within R using the internet, it fails. OK so I am behind a firewall and use a proxy server.... SO, if I go to my MS-DOS prompt and type: RGui.exe --internet2 everything works.... BUT i can't set up a shortcut for this as Windows (I hate Windows) complains

Hello, and Happy New Year. My default working directory is getting very cluttered. I know that I should be using a different working directory for each project (I work in Windows), but do not know how to go about creating different ones and moving back and forth between them. I have read Venables & Ripley (Modern Applied Statistics with S-PLUS, 1994) but this seems out of date with respect

After the discussions about appropriate editors under Windows to use with R, I have managed to install Emacs, XEmacs, and ESS under WinNT 4.0, and these work fine. It's not necessary to compile anything to use R with ESS, just to install Emacs and ESS, and do a few modifications in some files. XEmacs is also easy to install but apparently ESS cannot run with it (confirmed by a message by Tony

I am using r0.63.2 for Windows. This seems like it should be a FAQ but I couldn't find it in the R FAQ. If I want to have different workspaces for different projects how do I arrange for R to restore a workspace from a directory other than the one where the executable is, automatically on startup? Is it possible, or do I have to save the workspace in the right directory then manually restore

I have two computers both of which are running Windows XP SP2. R 1.9.1 runs just fine on one but not the other. Both installations of R came from the same installation package. When I click on the desktop icon an hourglass shows up then disappears. Similarly, if I start RGUI the process shows up in task-manager then abruptly disappears. Interestingly, I can access R in Excel via the D(COM) Server

NOTE: WinXP, R2.2.0 All, a while back I posted a question about using relative filereferencing. The responses have allowed me to successfully set up the following directory structure: ...\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

Somehow I have lost the correct file association for .RData files. They are now associated with a text file editor. When I right click on any .RData file and try to change the association, R is not listed as a choice of program. I browse to c:\Program Files\R\rw2001\bin\Rgui.exe and select that file to open .RData, but Windows does not then place Rgui.exe in the list of programs to use. I can

Dear R users, I have noticed that my R startup is extremely slow. It takes almost 3 minutes from "double-click" to R prompt. I have been running R-0.64.1 till recently and it took about 30 sec. I still have access to R-0.64.1. When I started it up, it took about 25 sec. Can anyone tell me if this is a bug in R or a problem with my machine? Note: This is after bootup with R being the

hello all, when I start up the R and I execute o follow code: > ls() character(0) > x=123 > assign("test_x", x, envir = .GlobalEnv ) > ls() [1] "test_x" "x" > setwd('C:\\R\\etc') > save.image('TEST.RData') > q('no') I have two different behaviours: (a) - when I start up R again by "double click" in

Hi all: Newbies (and others!) may find useful the R Reference Card made available by Tom Short of EPRI Solutions at http://www.rpad.org/Rpad/Rpad-refcard.pdf or through the "Contributed" link on CRAN (where some other reference cards are also linked). It categorizes and organizes a bunch of R's basic, most used functions so that they can be easily found. For example,

Dear listers, I have written a function to facilitate the drawing of altitude profiles with x (distance), y (altitude) and a z parameter (altitude magnification). profplot<-function(x,y,z=10,...){ op <- par()$mai par(mai=c(0.95625,0.76875,0.76875,0.95625)) plot(x,y*z, type="l",asp=1,las=1,xlab="",ylab="",yaxt="n",...)

I just installed R-2.3.1pat under Windows XP as well as the associated RWinEdt. If I start RGui from its shortcut (but do _not_ also start RWinEdt) and then try to execute demo() or help(), I get a RWinEdt pop-up error window with message: File "D:\WP\WinEdtData\WinEdt\D:/WP/WinEdtData/WinEdt/R.ini" does not exist! Qualifier -e/-E does not specify an existing file! First

Well I don't know if anyone can help with this but it will be interesting to know if others have had the same problem. I can't start R at home on my laptop [ I'm using 1.8.1 under Windows XP]. When I click on the shortcut I get the usual Windows box for when an application needs to close. A couple of clicks down it displays the following: Error signature AppName: rgui.exe
