I tried it using file and it seems to work for saving: > data(iris) > con <- file("clipboard","w") > save(iris,ascii=T,file=con) > close(con) > readLines("clipboard") ... lengthy output follows which seems correct ... but not for loading: > con <- file("clipboard","r") > load(con) Error in load(con) : loading from

Consider the following example: # substitute a with b in the indicated function. Seems to work. > z <- substitute( function()a+1, list(a=quote(b)) ) > z function() b + 1 # z is an object of class call so use eval # to turn it into an object of class expression; however, # when z is evaluated, the variable a returns. > eval(z) function()a+1 Why did a suddenly reappear again

Dear All, The following code should return 1, but it returns 0: source("http://r-bc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/R/bc.R") bc("9 % 2") Do you confirm this bug? Paul

Hi Gabor, In strictly reading the help files for both nrow() and row(), the 'x' argument in the former case is "a vector, array, data frame, or NULL.", whereas in the latter case it is "a matrix-like object, that is one with a two-dimensional dim.". Thus, I would expect row() to fail on a >= 3-dimensional array, as your example shows. In reading the help file for

I can't get the PERL subexpression translated to R. Following, for example, B. Ripley's http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/58984.html I am using sub, but it looks like an ugly substitute. Assume I want to extract the first alpha part and the first numeric part, but only if they are in sequence. Do I really have to use the sub twice, first extracting the first variable, then

I am curious if there is any way to list only variables or functions in current environment, rather than listing all objects? Thanks. -- Daehyok Shin (Peter) Geography Department Univ. of North Carolina-Chapel Hill

Hi I'm using R 2.0 in SuSE 9.2. When I plot data as a boxplot, the boxes appear on the plot in alphabetical order (of group) rather than the order in which they appear in the data. So far, the only thing I can do to fix this is to prefix the group labels with a,b,c...etc to trick R into plotting them in the right order. Can sorting be turned off? How should I address this sensibly? Thanks

I have two vectors, a and b. b is a text file. I want to find in b those elements of a which occur at the beginning of the line in b. I have the following code, but it only returns a value for the first value in a, but I want both. Any ideas please. a = c(2,3) b = NULL b[1] = "aaa 2 aaa" b[2] = "2 aaa" b[3] = "3 aaa" b[4] = "aaa 3 aaa"

Also why should that difference result in different behavior?

Base R. Regarding code improvements: 1. Personally I find (\(...) ...)() notation hard to read (although by placing (\(x), the body and )() on 3 separate lines it can be improved somewhat). Instead let us use a named function. The name of the function can also serve to self document the code. 2. The use of dat both at the start of the pipeline and then again within a later step of the pipeline

What is wrong with you guys? I asked for a zip, like R Studio has for example. Totally clear. I cant execute exes. But I can unzip files. Thanks Gabor, I had that in mind, but can't execute the exe due to security restrictions. Geez, really, treating people who ask questions this way just makes you don't want to ask a single one.

That's justifiable, I think; consider: > d1 = data.frame(a = 1:4) > d2 = d3 = data.frame(b = 1:2) > row.names(d3) = c("a", "b") > data.frame(d1, d2) a b 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 1 4 4 2 > data.frame(d1,

Hi all, please see my code: > library(zoo) > a <- as.yearmon("March-2010", "%B-%Y") > b <- as.yearmon("May-2010", "%B-%Y") > > nn <- (b-a)*12 # number of months in between them > nn [1] 2 > as.integer(nn) [1] 1 What is the correct way to find the number of months between "a" and "b", still

Pretty good question Gabor. I can execute R once it is installed (if someone with rights installs it before) but not the installer. I can download the installer (with some pain). I know that some installers are actually compressed files in disguise, but I think this is not the case with R, right? I will study the exact nature of the restriction, and get back to you. Nevertheless, having a

Dear R-helpers, I am a beginner using R. This is the first question in this list. My question, Is there possible to make combinations with two part column? If I have a number 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. I need the result something like below: 1,2,3,4,5 6,7,8 1,2,3,4,7 5,6,8 2,3,4,5,6 1,7,8 1,2,3,6,7 4,5,8 1,2,3,4,8 5,6,7 3,4,6,7,8 1,2,5 .... I would be very happy if anyone could

Hi, I am using RpgSQL to retrieve data from a PostgreSQL database wich is with encoding UTF8, and I have some Chinese character in one of the columns, unfortunately R can't show it correctly. > df <- dbGetQuery(con, "select * from test") > df a b 1 1 ????????\xa2 2 2 ???? EURO\xa1 I see the following option, do I need to change the encoding option to show

something like "sprintf" in C? so I can do: print(sprintf("the correct result is %3.4f\n", myresult)); ------- Also, I am desperately looking for a "clear console screen" function in R... thanks a lot! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

The formula attribute of the builtin CO2 dataset seems a bit strange: > formula(CO2) Plant ~ Type + Treatment + conc + uptake What is one supposed to do with that? Certainly its not suitable for input to lm and none of the examples in ?CO2 use the above.

Dear Gabor, Thank your for helping me so much! I have loaded R the newest version 2.1.1. Then I setup it in the path of D:\program files\R\ 1. unpack tools.zip into c:\cygwin 2. install Active perl in c:\Perl 3. install the mingw32 in c:\mingwin 4. add "c:\cygwin; c:\mingwin\bin" in "Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> Path ->
