Hi all, thanks for your help in advance. I was running some scripts and suddenly R began taking a very long time to process mundane errors, which I often generate since I am new to R...such as forgetting to add in my quote getOption(warn) Error in options(x) : object 'warn' not found Not only does the warning message print in the R console when it finally writes the error, but it also

I'm writing a script to sync some mp3 files. Due to a limitation in the number of destination files that can be read from my thumb drive, I'm not looking to preserve the original file structure (actually, I'm looking to sync *only the files* to the new destination directory). The source files are all subfolders under /backup/Music: ./Adrian Legg/Mrs. Crowe's Blue Waltz/Paddy

Good morning all, We are moving our web server from novell to unix (solaris) and will be using samba to allow users to edit web pages. Our samba instance authenticates using ADS and the users do not necessarily have accounts on the server itself. We are attempting to allow users to map a single samba share but only see the directories they have read access to (see configuration below). Any

I have a matrix of data. I need to scan the matrix and find every sequence from maxima to maxima across a row. I can write a loop to do this easily. Problem is, I can't figure out how to store the results. Each result is a vector of widely varying lengths. Ideally I'd like a vector of these, i.e. a vector of vectors, so I can quickly iterate through them and compute correlation

I have a several character variables that I need to recode, but some of them have special characters like single quote or ( ). How tell R to ignore these special characters so I can rename them? Below is the error message I am getting. social$FamilySupport[social$FamilySupport=="Mr. XXXs' extended family live in the Nashville area where he and his wife reside."]<-"Highly

There's now a page on lanyrd ("the social conference directory") for useR! 2012 in Nashville: http://lanyrd.com/2012/useR/ its basically a site for making social mini-networks for conferences, so people can post up links, share photos, list talks, etc. If people going sign up then it'll look a lot better than UseR! 2011, where only three people seemed to have attended - but

Dear useRs, What is an efficient way to randomly sample from clustered data such that I get equal representation from each cluster? For example, let's say I want to randomly sample two cases from each cluster created by the "id" variable in the following data frame: > id<-c(rep("100", 4),rep("101", 3), rep("102", 6), rep("103",

Has anyone had success building a package on a windows machine? I am trying the following command with no luck (perhaps my flags are incorrect?). At this point I am stuck. Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi, We've written an R program to conduct a series of analyses on a data file that is a comma separated value file. At one time it worked, but every since having down loaded the new version of R, I'm getting the following: Cannot open c:windowsdesktopslope.csv What I've asked the program to do is to open a datafile using the following: DataFile<-

Hi, I'm no longer on the subscribing list, but was hoping to get my question posted.? Please inform if this is ok, although I am guessing you wont post with the image below.? If so, let me know and I will resend without the image. Thanks Hi, I just upgraded my system and my version of R all at once.? Upon running old code for heatmaps etc, I suddenly notice that there is an odd grid pattern

I have written an R function that writes output to an external file using the sink function. I assume that `sink' is not operating system dependent. At the end of the function I have additional code that opens the newly created file using notepad on a Windows system. Obviously, this part of the code will not work on a Mac or Linux box. Since I do not have a machine with Linux or the Mac OS

Dear "R" list, Our statisticians usually give us results back in a PDF format. I would like to be able to copy and past tables from "R" output directly into a Microsoft Word table since this will save us tons of time, be more accurate to minimize human copying errors and help us update data in our papers more easily. Do people have suggestions for the best way to do this? I
