Hello; I am new user of R; so pardon me. I am reading a .txt file that has around 50+ numeric columns with '\t' as separator. I am using read.csv function along with colClasses but that fails to recognize double quoted numeric values. (My numeric values are something like "1,001.23"; "1,008,000.456".) Basically read.csv fails with - "scan() expected 'a

Consider this code. This is R 3.4.2, but based on a quick look at the NEWS, this has not been fixed. tryCatch( readLines(tempfile(), warn = FALSE)[1], error = function(e) NA, warning = function(w) NA ) rm(list=ls(all.names = TRUE)) gc() showConnections(all = TRUE) If you run it, you'll get a connection you cannot close(), i.e. the last showConnections() call prints: ?

Thanks for tracking this down. Yeah, I should use suppressWarnings(), you are right. Although, readLines() might throw another warning, e.g. for incomplete last lines, and you don't necessarily want to suppress that. TBH I am not sure why that warning is given: ? con <- file(tempfile()) ? open(con) Error in open.connection(con) : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In

Dear "R-help"ers, using snow on socket connections, I ran into the following error > cl <- makeSOCKcluster(hosts) Error in socketConnection(port = port, server = TRUE, blocking = TRUE : all connections are in use with "showConnections(all=T)" showing 50 open connections. As - for administrative reasons - I would prefer to use snow's SOCK capabilities (instead

Yeah, that's often a possible workaround, but since this connection was opened by readLines() internally, I don't necessarily know which one it is. E.g. I might open multiple

I noticed the following file descriptor leak when I couldn't remove a package unless I shut down the R session that had loaded and used it. The function that triggered the problem printed the output of a call to parse(). Each time one prints a srcref a connection is opened and not closed. It looks like it happens in as.character.srcref's call to getSrcLines, which has some logic I

Hello; I am trying following but getting a warning message : Warning in rbind.zoo(...) : column names differ, no matter whatever I do. Also I do not want to specify column names manually, since I am just writing a wrapper function around getSymbols to get chunks of data from various sources - oanda, dividends etc. I tried giving col.names = T/F, header = T/F and skip = 1 but no help. I think

Hi, I am attempting to implement a mixed (windows/linux) snow sockets parallelism in R, but am running into difficulties similar to a post made Aug 31, 2006 under the same subject heading. I feel like I may be one or two non-obvious steps away from getting it all working, but I'm stuck. If anyone can shed some light on this (I believe Prof. Tierney stated that he has successfully run a

Hi, I am making multiple calls to gzfile() via read.table(), e.g. > x <- read.table( gzfile( "xxx.gz" ) ) After i do this many times (I haven't counted, but probably between 50 and 100 times) I get the error message: Error in open.connection(file, "r") : unable to open connection In addition: Warning message: cannot open compressed file 'xxx.gz' however, I

Hi all, I'm writing a function that read data from a binary file. I want to close all opened connections, but it failed: > showConnections() description class mode text isopen can read can write 3 "daten/t5_all.mea" "file" "rb" "binary" "opened" "yes" "no" 4 "daten/t5_all.mea"

I expected close() to be the opposite of open(), but > # create a connection > con <- file("ex.data") > # open it > open(con, "w") > # close it > close(con) > # re-open it > open(con, "w") Error in open.connection(con, "w") : invalid connection > > con Error in summary.connection(x) : invalid connection > # is obviously

This has nothing to do with on.exit. It is an iteraction between where the warning is signaled in 'file' and your _exiting_ warning handler. This combination has the same issue, tryCatch(file(tempfile(), "r"), warning = identity) showConnections(all = TRUE) as does options(warn=2) file(tempfile(), "r") showConnections(all = TRUE) I haven't looked at the

Hola: Para el desarrollo del nuevo PluginR de Tiki (para poder ejecutar scripts de R desde Tiki: en páginas Wiki, hojas de cálculo web, etc, http://dev.tiki.org/PluginR ), por ahora estamos usando la lista de funciones que se usaban en el proyecto r-php, y que fueran heredadas por la extensión R de MediaWiki. Como r-php se hizo hace algunos años (2006), me pregunto si alguien sabe si hay

Gabor, You can grab the connection and destroy it via getConnection and then a standard close call. (it actually lists that it is "closed" already, but still in the set of existing connections. I can't speak to that difference). > tryCatch( + readLines(tempfile(), warn = FALSE)[1], + error = function(e) NA, + warning = function(w) NA + ) [1] NA >

Here's an update of my rawConnection() implementation. In addition to providing a raw version of textConnection(), this fixes two existing issues with textConnection(): one is that the current textConnection() implementation carries around unprotected SEXP pointers, the other is a performance problem due to prolific copying of the output buffer as output is accumulated line by line. This new

Greetings, all. I've got a datafile I've been working with that has an ideosyncratic, heterogeneous format. It's grossly like: [...] DISKREAD,metadata about disks MEM,metadata about memory ZZZZ,observation-identifier,time,date DISKREAD,observation-identifier,data about disks MEM,observation-identifier,data about memory [ and repeat for each observation ] What I've done in
