similar to: no command history in cmd?

Hi all, Are there any plans to add more functionality to command-line editing and history editing on the command line? In MATLAB (I know, comparisons are odious ...), you can type "p" and up-arrow on the command line and scroll through the recently entered commands beginning with "p". This is a very useful feature and something that I believe is not replicated in R. Please

Hi! I have the following issues using "R for Mac OS X 2.2.1" (from the ppc-.dmg) on a Mac OS X 10.4.5: 1) The command history is never saved (automatically) to .Rhistory. (The file stays empty.) 2) If I save a history to some file via the "Save History" button, and I load it afterwards via "Load History", only the first entry of the saved History appears in

Hello, We are using R 1.4.1 on Solaris 8. The director of our lab says that it should be possible, when using R interactively, to repeat your previous command by pressing the up-arrow key (similar to the command history feature in the tc shell). I have not been able to find any mention of this command history feature in any of the R documentation, but the lab director is adamant that this

I am trying to build [R] v1.3.1 *locally* on a Sun Solaris 8 machine. One problem I am currently struggeling with is to make the command-line history function to work. I have installed GNU readline version 4.2 (latest version). Looking at the "config.log" file it seems that all readline related checks, e.g. "readline/history.h", passes (they did not before installing GNU

g'day R friends, I was hoping someone could provide me with advice as to my dysfunctional 'arrow' keys. Instead of browsing thru my command history they just move my cursor. What have I done wrong? My TERM seems ok for other unix apps. I'm running under hpux 10.20 with R1.0.0 thanks, John Strumila -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Hi, I am using R 2.2.0 on Mac OS X 10.3.9. But I test the issue also with R 2.2.1 on OS X 10.4 (Tiger) I have a question regarding the functioning of the history from the command line. When I press the 'up-arrow' I call back the last command (everything ok), let's say that I go back until the level n-5, but when I get down to return to the empty line, I cannot reach the empty

Greetings, I don't know if this is a bug or something I did wrong. The symptom is that my command history is now broken. For example, the up arrow now results in ^[OA each time it is depressed. The build commands I used were as follows: cp R-1.4.1.tgz /usr/lib/R cd /usr/lib/R tar -xvvzf R-1.4.1.tgz cd R-1.4.1 ./configure make make check # No errors resulted make dvi make pdf make info

So far the only problem I've encountered is that my arrow keys no longer scroll through my command history, but give ^[OA and ^[OB instead. Left and right arrow navigation within a line is also broken. I checked

a) How can I set the recording of all windows()-history forever to "true"? I want something like windows(record = TRUE) but not just for the window that opens then, but for all windows I will open ever. b) Scrolling up in RGui (windows 2000) to see past commands is nice, but: Is it possible to type eg "wi" and the "arrow up" and see the last command that started with

Hi i'm new to R and find that the "history" functionality works a little different than in unix. A very convenient feature of history in unix is the ability to recall a comand by typing in !x where x is a letter and the latest matching command in the history that starts with the letter is (re)called. This is useful for instance, when calling a "source" command by !s rather

Hello everyone, Thanks to the people who so kindly responded to my earlier query about how to get R to retrieve my previous command when I hit the up-arrow key. Several people pointed out to me that in order to enable this feature I need to re-install R with the GNU readline library. My question now is: how do I accomplish this? Can anyone tell me what changes I need to make to the

Suppose I run the following code in the R session. At the last prompt '>', I want to retrieve the second command (staring with 'y'). But I have to type up arrow many times, which is very inconvenient. I'm wondering if there is a way to configure R to skip block of code in the history? > x=list(a=c(1,2),b=c(3,4,5)) > y=list(a=c(1,2),b=c(3,4,5)) > lapply(seq(along=x)

Venables and Ripley's supplementary notes state that Unix R provides a command history mechanism in which previous commands can be recalled using the up and down arrows. My version of R (Digital Unix 4.0) doesn't appear to support this. Is this an installation issue and is there a workaround? Thanks, Philip Smith

Hi, I was wondering if bash or inputrc has changed form CentOS v4 to CentOS v5? Reason I ask is at the bash cli I can type, for example 'su' and then with the up and down arrows I can scroll through my history and will only see the commands that begin with 'su'. In CentOS 5 this isn't the case. I have added some code to my inputrc file to make this work in CentOS 4 as

What's wrong with the Asterisk CLI history? When I exit the CLI, and re-enter, the last command in the history always defaults to 'stop now'. This is very bad, and it's caused accidental shutdowns more than once. Connected to Asterisk 1.2.9.1 currently running on hera (pid = 17399) Verbosity is at least 3 hera*CLI> A No such command 'A' (type 'help' for help)

I have compiled R under Solaris 7 (SunOS 5.7) with the readline-4.0 library linked. Command line editing appears to work, but I cannot access command history. If I execute several commands in R, then type "history()", I get the error message "Error in savehistory(file) : no history available to save". Also, previous command recall (C-p) does not seem to work. I am invoking
