similar to: Suprising behavior of paste or cat?

I am experiencing unexpected behavior with the command cat under Window GUI builds of R version 2.12.0 (it does not seem to be an issue in Rterm). For example if I issue the command cat(70,"\r") I get back text that looks like Asian characters. If I highlight and copy that text, it is the text I would regularly expect, e.g. the number 70 and the prompt line. Highlighting the text

Hi, when mixing newline and backspace characters I get the following output (see below). In the second call, the backspace character is simply not applied. Is this normal behaviour? Thank you. > cat("abc\b") ab> cat("abc\b\n") abc > [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

... or just put the R expression inside curly brackets, e.g. tryCatch({ sexsnp[i] = fisher.test(table(data[,3], data[,i+38]))$p }, error=function(e) print(NA)) Exercise: Compare > list(a = 2) $a [1] 2 with > list({ a = 2 }) [[1]] [1] 2 and > list(b = { a = 2 }) $b [1] 2 BTW, note how the latter two assigned a <- 2 to the global environment. /Henrik On Thu, May 18, 2023 at

Because `<-` and `=` do different things (and I am one of the old fossils that wish they had not been confounded). `fun(x <- expr)` Assigns the value of `expr` to the variable `x` in the frame/environment that `fun` is called from. `fun(x = expr)` Assigns the value of `expr`to the variable `x` in the frame/environment created for and used by `fun` subject to the rules of argument matching.

Hello, I run a fisher.test() in a loop, with the issue that some of the data will not be useable. To protect the loop I used tryCatch but: sexsnp = rep(NA, 1750) for(i in 1:1750){tryCatch(sexsnp[i] = fisher.test(table(data[,3], data[,i + 38]))$p, error = function(e) print(NA))} Error: unexpected '=' in "for(i in 1:1750){tryCatch(sexsnp[i] =" But this works: for(i in

Still trying to get a handle on c, cat, paste, and lists. Here is my current problem. I have a good number of vectors that I want to selectively combine into a dataframe. The exact name of the vectors changes in a looping arrangement but can easily be grepped. The problem is: how can I use a list produced by a grep in a data.frame command: i.e. > ls() [1] "a"

Hi, I would expect the following: paste( as.character( cat( rep( ".", 2 ) ) ), "a string", as.character( cat( rep( ".", 3 ) ) ) ); to yield this string: ". . a string . . .", but instead it yields this: > . .. . .[1] " a string " The third argument has been stuck immediately after the first. The same thing happens with cat() or c().

If I run the following: > windows() > > bringToTop(-1) > > interactive() [1] TRUE > > run <- readline(prompt = "Continue (Yes = 1, No = 2):") Continue (Yes = 1, No = 2): > dummy <- 1 > run [1] "" it does not allow user input though the session is interactive (it jumps right over the readline command). It would be great

Hi, All: Is there a way to identify whether any users are using a particular package in a shared network R installation?
