similar to: getopt does not work as expected!

Hello R-developers! I am creating a package (using devtools and RStudio) and I would like to split my vignette into multiple Rnw-files. As an example I tried the code from: https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200486298 (--> Working with multiple Rnw files) The Rnw-files work fine with "Complie pdf" in RStudio as well as with Sweave("Master.Rnw"). But, if I try

Apologies for asking about this, but I don't quite understand how this works after looking through the FAQ and the Help archives. Let's say I want to pass "1000" as an argument to R. I did the following: >R CMD BATCH --1000 infile outfile When I do print( commandArgs() ), I see [1] ".../R.bin" "--restore" [3] "--save"

Dear R folks, wanting to compare different implementations of a solution I want to script it to iterate over the different implementations. Is there a way to do this in the R shell/command line? $ more /tmp/iterf.r f1 <- function(n = 100000, l = 100000) { z = n + l } f2 <- function(n = 100000,

Hi, just for information: On Suse 10.3 x86 > make check fails, if configure was called with --without-recommended-packages for the latest beta. The problem I stumbled upon is located in utlis.

Dear all, I have defined a generic as.ff(x, ...) and a method as.ff.function(x, ...) which converts a standard R function x into a chunked version operating on large ff objects. Everything works fine, but when registering S3method("as.ff",function) in NAMESPACE, the installation fails with some kind of parsing error: adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION installing NAMESPACE file

Dear R experts: I am a bit stymied by how the argument picking-off works in R batch file usage. $ cat commandArgs.R cat(" Command Line Arguments were ", commandArgs(), "\n"); $ /usr/bin/R CMD BATCH commandArgs.R --args 1 2 3 $ /usr/bin/R --args 1 CMD BATCH commandArgs.R ... I am now getting into interactive mode ?! I guess it really is skipping the rest of the command line

hi, new to R and using the car package to do some scatterplots with ellipses hoping to add the area and center points of each ellipse to the legend? looking for some direction / ideas.... here is the script, the data is where golf shots end up by club. x (dispersion), y (distance), group (Club) thanks, sam ## usage: Rscript shotScatter.R infile outfile level1 level2 minX maxX minY maxY

Today I installed the newest R develepment branch R version 2.14.0 Under development (unstable) (2011-03-18 r54866) on FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT (amd64). All seems fine so far. After that I updated my R packages with option 'checkBuilt=TRUE'. There are four packages (spatstat, pscl, adehabitatLT, adehabitatHR) which gives an error like this: Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :

R Team: This is most likely a trivial question, but after searching docs for several weeks and digging through Rweb and RCGI, I could not clearly identify the method to call an R method from Linux or Win32 systems and send the output to a file. I would like to implement R as part of an online client-server application for a geographically spaced engineering team an would like to know how to run

Hello all, I recently used the Vegan library quite extensively (in the context of text similarity assessment) on an Ubuntu 6.06 LTS system with R version 2.2.1 (2005-12-20 r36812). The Vegan lib is version 1.6-10. I hit on a problem yesterday, though, when trying to install R and Vegan on two further computers - one Windows XP and one further Ubuntu 6.06 machine, taking either R version 2.4.0

Dear list-reader, by running the following script: library(zoo) sessionInfo() search() packageDescription("zoo") data(EuStockMarkets) dax <- as.zoo(EuStockMarkets[1:10, "DAX"]) daxr <- diff(log(dax)) identical(as.vector(qnorm(daxr)), qnorm(coredata(daxr))) qqnorm(coredata(daxr)) qqnorm(daxr) qqnorm() produces an error: > qqnorm(daxr) Fehler in if (xi == xj) 0L

I was on vacation the last week and wrote some code to run a 500-day correlation between the Nasdaq tracking stock (QQQ) and 191 currency pairs for 500 days. The initial run took 9 hours(!) and I'd like to make it faster. So, I'm including my code below, in hopes that somebody will be able to figure out how to make it faster, either through parallelisation, or by making changes. I've

Hey, I'm generating a .jpeg file for a web application passing parameters to R via cgi. R gets the parameters by using commandArgs, which are passed to a variable named j and z j<-commandArgs()[3] z<-commandArgs()[4] Later I want to use the characters strings of the argument which the variables are holding for my filename, e.g.: jpeg(file="d:/data/images/jz.jpeg",...)

Hi, $ cat commandArgs.R args=commandArgs(trailingOnly=TRUE) args[1]+10 I have the above code. But the following command line gives me an error. I am wondering what is the correct way to convert a string to a vector? $ Rscript commandArgs.R 1:3 > args=commandArgs(trailingOnly=TRUE) > args[1]+10 Error in args[1] + 10 : non-numeric argument to binary operator Execution halted Regards, Peng

Dear R-core Team, As Thomas Lumley pointed out in one of his e-mails one can use commandArgs() to get a copy of the command line arguments supplied when R session was invoked and then use grep to extract parameters of interest. His solution works very well if the custom options are passed by names, e.g. --my-option=value, but what if one wants to pass parameters by their positions. Then it's

A couple of weeks ago I asked how it is possible to run an R script (not a function) passing some parameters. Someone suggested the function "commandArgs()". I read the on-line help and found no clarifying example. Therefore I do not know how to use it appropriately. I noticed this function returns the pathname of the R executable which is not what I need. I meant to ask if it is

Hi, I have a bunch of R scripts which have the hash bang !/usr/bin/env Rscript and I typically run these scripts by passing in some parameters like this: ./nameOfRScript arg1 arg2 ... I know Rscript has the option to run in --vanilla. Where exactly do I insert the --vanilla option? When I do something like this: ./nameOfRScript --vanilla arg1 arg2 ... And I try to access the commandArgs,

I think there's a minor bug in the argument-processing carried out by Rscript. The effect is that if one passes "-g" as a flag to the script, it is erroneously exposed to the main executable's argument processing and therefore generates a message about not being able to comply with the request for a particular GUI. Uppercase G is fine as are the other 25 letters in upper or

Hello list Is there a way of identifying from within R whether a script has been source(d) from Rgui.exe or via Rscript.exe in batch mode? For the code I have I use the commandArgs() function to pick up command line args when running in batch mode via Rscript.exe However I like to get the code working manually first using source("MyRCode.r") I'd like to be able to put something at
