Dear friends - windows R 3.3.3 - sorry to ask a simple question - but I cannot make setwd work properly in scripts In the example below I have made a directory in C (firstdir) and a directory in that (secdir) and the intention is to change directory to the second from the first - it works when I put the entire path but not the tilde - what am I missing? I was around rwf 2.14 as per the help

Hi, I have a question about special character: when I create a data frame including some special characters, like '?', it displayed as '<U+00F8>'. I understand that it's one encoding code for '?'. but I want to display the letter as '?' on my screen. And more, when I save the data frame to a local position, it was also save as the encoding code

Hi, One of the functions I use needs to write to a temporary file, in the directory given by tempdir(). I want to change this from the standard one, as the file is too large for the drive. However, tempfile() doesnt seem to respect the environment variables when I change them with Sys.setenv(). In a fresh R-session: > Sys.getenv("TMP") [1]

>From Tom: In R 2.2.0 under Windows, I want to be able to give it a filename such as "myFile.txt" without the quotes. But actually I mean: C:\Documents and Settings\Tom\My Documents\qpaper7\R Project Started 19 Dec 05\myFile.txt If I were to repeat this each time, my computer would get all bored and cranky and start to drop bits (only a joke, of course). I think I want to set

Dear R users, I read your methods of extracting the variance explained by each predictor in different places. My question is: using the method you suggested, the sum of the deviance explained by all terms is not equal to the deviance explained by the full model. Could you tell me what caused such problem? > set.seed(0) > n<-400 > x1 <- runif(n, 0, 1) > ## to see problem

Hi, Main objective: Let Rgui find my ~/.Rprofile and ~/.Renviron files, where ~ is equal to getwd("~"). I have few comments/questions: (A) On my WinXP Pro installation, the system environment variable 'HOME' is not availble to R, e.g. Sys.getenv("HOME") is empty. I believe this is default case (correct me if I'm wrong). However, if I set the "Start

Hi, I want to create a data frame including a column containing some special characters, like "ø". when I print that data frame out, the content change to <U+00F8>, and when save the data frame to a txt file, the content keep in that style, but I need it in its original form, anybody can explain? > x <- data.frame(part = c("målløs", "ny")) > x

Hi. How to use session in ruby on rails ? I try to make it work for hours, but it still doesn''t work... In my controller I have this: def identification @current_user = User.new(params[:user]) ok = false redir = ''login_failed'' @remote_user = User.find(:all) @remote_user.each do |r_user| if (r_user.login == @current_user.login and

ISSUE: It looks like Rgui.exe never processes ~/.Renviron - only ./.Renviron. REPRODUCIBLE EXAMPLE: On Windows, create the following ~/.Renviron and ~/.Rprofile files: C:\Users\alice> Rscript -e "cat('FOO=123\n', file='~/.Renviron')" C:\Users\alice> Rscript -e "cat('print(Sys.getenv(\'FOO\'))', file='~/.Rprofile')" and launch

Hi I run R in Windows. Is there a simple way of changing the prompt symbol ">" to, say, "R>" ? (Not just for a temporary session, but every time R command window is opened.) The documentation of doing this is rather "sparse". Much appreciated for your assistance. Jacob Jacob L van Wyk Department of Statistics University of Johannesburg, APK P O Box 524

I'm using R on Windows XP Professional SP2. I figured out the fix for my buffer overflow problem that did not allow me to use Rgui.exe for about two weeks. I would keep getting "console not found" and even when I uninstalled and re-installed got the same problem. Here's how the problem started. In Rgui.exe, I attempted to get more visible output in the buffer (I wanted

Hello I am a newbie. I had my R upgraded from 2.7.1 to 2.7.2 and in doing so I decided to install all 2.7 versions under c:\program files\R\2.7 from now on (2.7.1 is located under .\2.7.1) Although I don't like the idea (I am running Vista), I have edited etc\Renviron.site to contain: R_USER=c:/Users/eduardo/Documents/R R_LIBS_USER=c:/Users/eduardo/Documents/R/win-library/2.7 As far as

R (Windows version) users/developers: While I have checked R-help/-devel mailing lists and R-bug-tracking system, this problem has not been reported so far. I would like to know whether this problem is specific to my machine. Lately I downloaded the version 1.5.0 patched [for windows] from http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/RWin/Rpre/ [patched: 2002-06-05] and

Dear R experts, I hope everyone has had a happy easter break. Recently my work included writing R function that need to call external tools. I did this using R's system function for example: system( paste( 'tool', '-input', path_to_input, '-output', path_to_output, '-other_switch', some_val ) ) I have two question about this: 1) Is there a way to implement

Hi, I'm currently in the process of writing an R-installation SOP for my company. As part of that process I'm using the recommendations from the 'R Installation and Administration' document, section 3.2, "Testing an installation". This is done on an XP machine, using the latest binary of 2.11.0. The binary is downloaded and then installed from the installer. I then

Greetings, I have a question pertaining to the concept of "environment variables" that is mentioned in the R documentation for "Startup" and also in the discussion of the Windows configuration of R in the recent book "An Introduction to R" authored by Venables, Smith, and the R Development Core Team (referred to as VS in this message). The Startup documentation and

What is the proper way to install/configure R-2.6.2 for M$-Windows XPSP2 for multiple users when the other users don't have administrative rights. I don't remember this was a problem with previous versions of R. I installed R-2.6.2 as administrator on the computer. It installs, runs, and can manually update fine. The main user of this computer does not have administrator rights. Now,

Does anyone know if there's an easy facility to create and specify a template file to be used for new R scripts? I found myself creating this function which works well (in RStudio on Windows). newR = function(filename=tempfile(tmpdir='.',fileext='.R'), open=TRUE) { template = paste(Sys.getenv('R_USER'), 'R_template.R', sep='/') lines =

With the same system configuration (WinNT4 SP6 and 1.7.0), I get such a Dr Watson crash each time I try to use the Change dir... command in the File menu of Rgui.exe. I doesn't seems to happen if I do this immediately after starting R but well if I already did some computation. I don't have any problem by using directly setwd().
