Hello, I got some of the R source code and not being able to Run it in RStudio.

Hi. I'm trying to export a .wav file using the writeWave function from tuneR package in a different folder than the default getwd(). After reading through the manuals of some audio packages I couldn't figure it out. I'm picking one 3-hour .wav file and asking the function to take a sample of 1 minute (from minute 100 to minute 101 of the 3-hour file) and saving it in an object

I've found the following strange behaviour R (RStudio) which has been confirmed by another user in RGui. Inside a script I want to set two variables: default.wd = getwd() tmp.wd = setwd(choose.dir()) After choosing tmp.wd the value of default.wd is shown in Workspace, but getwd() is giving back the correct string of tmp.wd. Is there a workaround for the problem? I'm working on

Hello! I have just uninstalled the R 2.4.1 that i was using and installed the latest version (R 2.12.1). In order to read a text file, i was copying the text file to C/Program Files/R/R 2.4.1, and the previous version was able to read it from there.

In my .Rprofile I have the following functions which display the current directory in the main R window title bar, and modify base::setwd() to keep this up to date. I like this because I can always tell where I am in the file system. cd <- function(dir) { base::setwd(dir) utils::setWindowTitle( short.path(base::getwd()) ) } short.path <- function(dir, len=2) { np

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?

[Env: Win XP, R 2.14.2, R 2.15.0] I have a replacement function for setwd() in my .Rprofile which displays the current R path in the R window title. It no longer works in R 2.15.x, giving the error below. Worse, the error prevents the rest of my .Rprofile script from completing. Is there some way to rescue this, i.e., preserve this behavior in R 2.15? If not, how can I modify my script so it

Hi, my name is Ellen. I want to ask you about R Code.

In my .Rprofile for Windows, I had the following functions defined to mirror a few features I miss from linux: (a) replace setwd() with a version that stashes the current directory so it can be easily restored (b) writes a short version of the current R directory to the Windows title bar: I can always see where I am, with multiple Rgui windows. (c) creates a cd() shorthand for setwd(), but
