Hello all, I think I am missing something about the sorting parameter in the "match" command/ Here is an example: a1 <- data.frame(name = c("D", "B", "C", "A", "A", "C")) a2 <- data.frame(name = c("A", "B", "C", "D"), num = 1:4) a1 a2 merge(a1, a2, sort = F, by.x = T) The

Hello dear R-help mailing list. I wish to be able to have htmlParse work well with Hebrew, but it keeps to scramble the Hebrew text in pages I feed into it. For example: # why can't I parse the Hebrew correctly? library(RCurl) library(XML) u = "http://humus101.com/?p=2737" a = getURL(u) a # Here - the hebrew is fine. a2 <- htmlParse(a) a2 # Here it is a mess...

Hello dear R help group, I am trying to read a .txt file, with Hebrew column names, while keeping the column names looking well in R - but without success. I uploaded an example file to: http://www.talgalili.com/files/aa.txt And am trying the command: read.table("http://www.talgalili.com/files/aa.txt", header = T, sep = "\t") This returns me with: X.....ª X...ª......

Dear R experts, I am trying to solve this problem, related to the possibility of changing the shape of a data frame using a "pivoting-like" function. I have a dataframe df of observations as follows: ID VALIDITY YEAR PROPERTY PROPERTY VALUE A1 2007 P1 V1 A1 2007 P2 V2 A1 2007 P3 V3 A1 2008 P1 V10 A1 2008 P2 V20 A2 2007 P5 V50 A2 2008 P6 V20 A3 2007

After reading more, I understand I didn't formulate my last question correctly, so please allow me to rephrase: What I am looking for is a way to save the R console session output. That is, a command that would combine the results of using: ?sink # And ?savehistory My motivation for this is that doing it will allow someone who is a blind user of R to be able to easily export his results to

Hello: Is there a way to get a mean from values stored in different rows? The data looks like this: YEAR-1, JAN, FEB, ..., DEC YEAR-2, JAN, FEB, ..., DEC YEAR-3, JAN, FEB, ..., DEC What I want is the mean(s) for just the consecutive winter months: YEAR-1.DEC, YEAR-2.JAN, YEAR-2.FEB YEAR-2.DEC, YEAR-3.JAN, YEAR-3.FEB etc. Thanks.

Hello all, I am using R 2.13.0 with windows 7, after giving my user full privileges to the R folder (as described here<http://www.r-statistics.com/2011/04/how-to-upgrade-r-on-windows-7/> ). This allows me to install new packages just fine. However, when using update.packages(), to update existing packages, I keep getting the following error (for example, when updating the MASS package):

Hello all, The following line of code includes a right-to-left language text, yet the R graphics engine displays it from left to right. One problem this causes is when there are parenthesis in the test, here is a basic example? plot(1:10, main = "שלום (טקסט)") Is there a way to make sure the text is displayed from right to left? Many thanks for any suggestions, Tal

Hello all, I would like to recreate the plot shown here (from a useR 2009 presentation): http://www.agrocampus-ouest.fr/math/useR-2009/abstracts/pdf/Hocking.pdf I downloaded the code for that image, and discovered that it relies on external web services, and also having PERL installed on the computer. I believe this could be done "locally" using the "seqLogo"

Hello all, I would like some R function that can translate a string to a "URL encoding" (see here: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp) Is it implemented?

Hello all, I recently discovered the "comment" command. I see it can only hold a vector of characters. Is there a way (or an alternative), to make it possible to have it keep a list? (for example, to keep different pieces of information like date of creation, information of each variable and so on) The closest solution I can think of is using 'names' on the vector, like this:
