similar to: getAnywhere and functions starting with "." (PR#7684)

'getAnywhere' is not reporting methods when there are periods in the class name or the generic name (in R-devel). > getAnywhere( 'predict.loess') A single object matching 'predict.loess' was found It was found in the following places registered S3 method for predict from namespace modreg namespace:modreg with value <<...>> > getAnywhere(

The function 'getAnywhere' crashes if given a non-existent name containing a period: > getAnywhere( 'nomethod.noclassforme') Error in get(x, envir, mode, inherits) : variable "nomethod" was not found However, 'getAnywhere' behaves gracefully if the non-existent name lacks a period: > getAnywhere( 'nomethod') no object named `nomethod' was

Shouldn't this work? > .a <- 5 > exists(".a") [1] TRUE > getAnywhere(".a") Error in exists(x, envir, mode, inherits) : invalid first argument getAnywhere doesn't seem to like the "." prefix. Is this a bug? Thanks, Robert Robert McGehee Geode Capital Management, LLC 53 State Street, 5th Floor | Boston, MA | 02109 Tel: 617/392-8396

There is a bug in `predict' whereby the order of variables sometimes gets re-arranged compared to the original fit, and then disaster results. Specifically, the 'variables' and 'predvars' attributes of a 'terms' object get out of synch. This only happens when the terms in the original formula get re-ordered during fitting: test> scrunge.data_ data.frame(

# r-bugs@r-project.org `predict' complains about new factor levels, even if the "new" levels are merely levels in the original that didn't occur in the original fit and were sensibly dropped, and that don't occur in the prediction data either. (At least if `drop.unused.levels' was set to TRUE, which the default.) test> scrunge.data.2_ data.frame( y=runif( 3),

Dear List, This may be related to this email thread initiated by Ben Bolker last month: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2011-July/061630.html In answering this Question on StackOverflow http://stackoverflow.com/q/7195628/429846 I noticed that `methods()` was not listing some S3 methods for `plot()` provided by the mgcv package. At the time I wanted to check the development version of R as

Hi List, I am trying to look up an object using getAnywhere, where the object I am looking for is given by the _value_ of the variable I am looking for. Since getAnywhere calls substitue on its argument it is looking for an object with the name of the argument not its value. Is there a way to work around this, or do I have to make my own getAnywhere without the substitute? This is an example to

Full_Name: Mark Bravington Version: 2.0.1 OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (140.79.22.104) 'sys.on.exit()' doesn't seem to be working, since R1.7.1 at least: soe.test <- function() { on.exit( cat( 'In exit code\n')) str( sys.on.exit()) # should display "language..."

I haven't been able to build yesterday's R-devel (or, as a test, R-devel_2005-03-11) on Windows XP. The error message I'm getting is to do with 'arithmetic.c', as shown below. Current R-patched seems to build fine, and I've built previous R-devels from source fairly often in the past-- though I have no understanding whatsoever of what's going on. FWIW the only changes

Dear R-devel When 'install.packages' runs, it updates all html files in all packages. Mostly, there seems to be no actual change to the html file contents, but the date/time does change. This has causing been me a bit of trouble, because I keep synchronized versions of R on several different machines, and whenever I install a package, many MB of file transfers are required; my slow upload

Hi Using R 2.8.1. I have list object called "AuxData". Inside a browser(), get("AuxData") succeeds, while getAnywhere("AuxData") fails with the error "no object named ??AuxData?? was found". I'm curious to know if this could be a bug. If yes, I'll try to come up with a reproducible example. Thanks Ben

Dear list Can anyone suggest a simple way to abort execution like stop(...) does, but without issuing an "Error: ..." message? I don't want to set 'options( show.error.messages=TRUE)' because I want normal behaviour to resume after this particular stop. (Please reply personally as well as to the list, as I'm not subscribed to R-help) Thanks Mark -- Mark Bravington

Dear R-devel On my Windows 2000 machine, I can build R-patched but not R-devel (since at least 1/9/2004). An error message pops up during the execution of some R code during "make", as below. In terms of "make" etc., I am totally clueless (not being a user of either Linux or C) and just mechanically follow the instructions in the R documentation; hence I've got no idea
