similar to: showConnections() does not show closed (or non-opened) connections though help says so

help on showConnections explains parameter all logical: if true all connections, including closed ones and the standard ones are displayed. If false only open user-created connections are included. but > # create a file > cat("TITLE extra line", "2 3 5 7", "", "11 13 17", file="ex.data", + sep="\n") >

Hi, I am making multiple calls to gzfile() via read.table(), e.g. > x <- read.table( gzfile( "xxx.gz" ) ) After i do this many times (I haven't counted, but probably between 50 and 100 times) I get the error message: Error in open.connection(file, "r") : unable to open connection In addition: Warning message: cannot open compressed file 'xxx.gz' however, I

I noticed the following file descriptor leak when I couldn't remove a package unless I shut down the R session that had loaded and used it. The function that triggered the problem printed the output of a call to parse(). Each time one prints a srcref a connection is opened and not closed. It looks like it happens in as.character.srcref's call to getSrcLines, which has some logic I

Gabor, You can grab the connection and destroy it via getConnection and then a standard close call. (it actually lists that it is "closed" already, but still in the set of existing connections. I can't speak to that difference). > tryCatch( + readLines(tempfile(), warn = FALSE)[1], + error = function(e) NA, + warning = function(w) NA + ) [1] NA >

This has nothing to do with on.exit. It is an iteraction between where the warning is signaled in 'file' and your _exiting_ warning handler. This combination has the same issue, tryCatch(file(tempfile(), "r"), warning = identity) showConnections(all = TRUE) as does options(warn=2) file(tempfile(), "r") showConnections(all = TRUE) I haven't looked at the

As far as I can tell, 'isOpen' cannot return FALSE in the case when 'rw = ""'. If the connection has already been closed by 'close' or some other function, then isOpen will produce an error. The problem is that when isOpen calls 'getConnection', the connection cannot be found and 'getConnection' produces an error. The check to see if it is

Hi all, I am trying to create a function that will open connections to all files of one type within the working directory. I've got the function to open the connections, but I am having a bugger of a time trying to get these connections named as objects in the workspace. I am at the point where I can do it outside of the function, but not inside, using assign. I'm sure I'm

Thanks for tracking this down. Yeah, I should use suppressWarnings(), you are right. Although, readLines() might throw another warning, e.g. for incomplete last lines, and you don't necessarily want to suppress that. TBH I am not sure why that warning is given: ? con <- file(tempfile()) ? open(con) Error in open.connection(con) : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In

Hi all, I'm writing a function that read data from a binary file. I want to close all opened connections, but it failed: > showConnections() description class mode text isopen can read can write 3 "daten/t5_all.mea" "file" "rb" "binary" "opened" "yes" "no" 4 "daten/t5_all.mea"

Yeah, that's often a possible workaround, but since this connection was opened by readLines() internally, I don't necessarily know which one it is. E.g. I might open multiple

Consider this code. This is R 3.4.2, but based on a quick look at the NEWS, this has not been fixed. tryCatch( readLines(tempfile(), warn = FALSE)[1], error = function(e) NA, warning = function(w) NA ) rm(list=ls(all.names = TRUE)) gc() showConnections(all = TRUE) If you run it, you'll get a connection you cannot close(), i.e. the last showConnections() call prints: ?

Hi! I'm wondering if there's a smart way around this: fileName= (some valid file on your system) > fileCon=file(fileName, open="rt") > l<-readLines (fileCon, n= 1) > > isOpen(fileCon) [1] TRUE > close(fileCon) > isOpen(fileCon) Error in isOpen(fileCon) : invalid connection How do you test for a file being closed if isOpen gives you an error
