similar to: splitting a string into words preserving blanks (using regex)

Is there a blank space escape sequence in R, i.e. something like \sp etc. to produce a blank space? TIA Mark ??????????????????????????????????????? Mark Heckmann Blog: www.markheckmann.de R-Blog: http://ryouready.wordpress.com

Hi, i need to recognize itemization structures in strings which follow the format: "digit-digit-dot" like e.g. 1. 2. 19. 211. Given the string " This happened in the 21. century." (the dot behind 21 is used in German instead of 21st) I want know where the dots are but I do not want the 21.-dot to be returned as well. I am not good at regular expressions. How

I noticed that the argument names after the dots argument are not partially matched. foo <- function(one, two, ...){ one + two } > foo(o=1, t=2) [1] 3 foo <- function(one, ..., two){ one + two } > foo(o=1, t=2) Fehler in one + two : 'two' fehlt Can someone explain me the reason for this behavior?

I have a vector and need to count how many data points fall inside each bin: dat <- rnorm(100) breaks <- -3:3 table((cut(dat, breaks))) (-3,-2] (-2,-1] (-1,0] (0,1] (1,2] (2,3] 3 13 42 30 12 0 if I reverse the breaks vector, the results remains the same: breaks <- rev(breaks) table((cut(dat, breaks))) (-3,-2] (-2,-1] (-1,0] (0,1] (1,2]

Happy New Year, all! I want to do calculations on each element of a list l, but i want the returned list element to be named differently after the calculation. Is it possible to do the renaming somehow within the lapply call? l <- list(a=NA, b=NA) lapply(l, function(x) {names(x) <- "new name"; return(x) }) This does not work, any ideas? TIA

In The following code, the table handler is executed twice when the button is pressed (from the 2nd pressing on). I want it to be executed only once. Does someone know, why this happens and how I can change it? library(gWidgets) w <- gwindow() b <- gbutton("press", cont=w) tbl <- gtable(1:10, cont=w) addhandlerclicked(b, handler=function(h, ...){

When using a gtkDrawingArea as a Cairo device I very often encounter the error: "figure margins too large" Even for the below "getting started" example from http://www.ggobi.org/rgtk2/ this is the case. > win = gtkWindow() > da = gtkDrawingArea() > win$add(da) > asCairoDevice(da) [1] TRUE > plot(1:10) Fehler in plot.new() : Grafikr?nder zu gro? > Also

I am not too familiar with Cairo and RGtk2 and have the following problem: I have a container with two GTK drawing areas converted into Cairo devices. I know that I can set the current drawing context e.g. using dev.set(). But this is tedious. How can I set the context using the objects da1 or da2? w <- gtkWindow() w$setSizeRequest(400, 400) vbox <- gtkVBox() da1 <- gtkDrawingArea()

I try to overlay a plot inside a gtkDrawingArea with a button (or any other widget). I tried to put both into a gtkFixed container. But this does not work, no printing occurs. Does someone know a solution? What I tried: w <- gtkWindow() w$setSizeRequest(400,400) fx <- gtkFixed() da <- gtkDrawingArea() fx$put(da, 100, 100) asCairoDevice(da) par(mar=c(0,0,0,0)) plot(1:10) btn.1

I want to assign a default handler to a toolbar button and change the handler later. The addhandlerclicked() method does not apply to a gAction Object, I think... defHandler <- function(h, ...) print("default") w <- gwindow() aTest <- gaction(label="Test", icon="open", handler=defHandler) tblList = list( test = aTest ) toolBar = gtoolbar(tblList,

I have a nested list l like: l <- list(A=c(1,2,3), B=c("a", "b")) l <- list(l,l, list(l,l)) I want the list to be unlisted, but not on the lowest level of each "branch". I want the lowest level of each list branch to remain as it is. So unlist or unlist(rec=F) do not work here as the level of nesting may differ on the elements. The result should look like:

Dear list, When playing around with the "[" method for S4 classes I noticed that it gets called twice in my example. setClass("testClass", representation(a="character")) setMethod("[", signature(x = "testClass", i = "ANY", j="ANY"), function (x, i, j, ..., drop){ print("void function")

I want to plot a multiline annotation including a mathematical expression using grid graphics (grid.text). This works fine for a single line, but the math expression is misplaced when I insert a line break ("\n" escape sequence): grid.text(expression(paste("Some words here\n more ", sigma))) Does someone have an idea how to fix that? TIA! Mark

Hi, how can I omit the box drawn from the starting position to the current position of the mouse when clicking and it over a GTK graphics object? I have seen that in the 'playwith' package the box changes to an arrow when using the 'pan' button. But I do not find the corresponding line in the code to implement that. library(gWidgets)

I run into some problems when trying to convert units using Hershey-Fonts: R chrashes. > library(grid) > label <- "some text" > pushViewport(viewport(gp=gpar(fontfamily="HersheySerif"))) > convertHeight(stringHeight(label), unitTo="mm") *** caught segfault *** address 0xadc838f8, cause 'memory not mapped' Traceback: 1:

Is there a way to modify the dots-argument? Let's consider I have a function that passes on its ... arguments to another function. For some reason I know, that some elements in ... will cause problems. Can I modify the ... structure somehow, e.g. delete elements? foo <- function(...){ innerFoo <- function(...){ } AT THIS POINT I WANT TO MODIFY THE CONTENT OF ... BEFORE IT IS

Hi all, I have a gtable and a ggraphic widget. I want to drag an element from the table onto the graphic. When the drag object is released over the ggraphic widget, I want the mouse coordinates inside the ggraphic to be returned. Right now I do not know how to get the mouse ccordinates of the ggraphic widget at any given time. How can I access the ggraphics mouse coordinates? Below you find

Hi, I posted this a week ago on r-help but did not get an answer. So I hope that someone here can help me: I want to define some options for my package the user may change. It would be convenient if the changes could be saved when terminating an R session and recovered automatically on the next package load. Is that possible and if yes, is the standard way to implement this? Thanks, Mark
