Why would R lack history capability? Someone in a private electronic mail message suggested the possibility that I was running R in a non-writable directory. This is not the case, as the following logfile shows (where "$ " is my shell prompt): $ ls -ld `pwd` drwxrwxrwx 15 sys sys 2560 Apr 30 08:10 /tmp $ R --vanilla R : Copyright 2002, The R Development Core Team

Hi, I have a couple of questions: * would it be possible to add more information on the history, for example the number of the command and a timestamp. With the number of command, one could do some stuff like in a terminal to recall a specific command : $ !45 and with the timestamp, one could imagine to ask for commands that were typed in a given interval of time. For example : R>

But that doesn't put the result into the history buffer, to be written to a file only later when I savehistory(filename). Bert Gunter also suggested ?capture.output and ?textConnection, but I cannot see how to get text into the history buffer as comments, but with evaluated expressions (values). I know how to use paste, sink, write, etc. but nothing that I can see inserts into the history

Hi, I'm trying to build a simple R package 'helloWorld' with just one function that prints 'hello World' on the C side. I agree that it is completely useless, but I just start mixing R and C. My C file is as follows : #include <stdio.h> void helloWorld() { printf("hello world !\n") ; } When I call it from R, here is what happens : R>

Hi, Has anyone started a javascript device for R. I don't see something like that googling or at on http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~paul/R/devices.html For example, using that graphics library : http://www.walterzorn.com/jsgraphics/jsgraphics_e.htm (I cc that message to the author.) ps : this is not a feature request, i will do it. But if someone has started that, let me know. Romain --

Hi, Consider the code : g <- function(){ print(.x) .x <- 3 } f <- function(){ environment(g) <- environment() .x <- 2 g() .x } > f() [1] 2 [1] 2 I would like f() to return 3. How can I do that ? Am I completely out of place ? Doing that, I want to avoid to pass .x as a parameter in f, because in real life .x is pretty big and g() is called over and over in a

I want to find the last record for each person_id in a data frame (from a SQL database) ordered by date. Is there a better way than this for loop? for (i in 2:length(history[,1])) { if (history[i, "person_id"] == history[i - 1, "person_id"]) history[i, "order"] = history[i - 1, "order"] + 1 # same person else history[i,

Dear R users and developpers, My question is adressed to both of you, so I choose R-help to post it. Are there any plans to jazz up the main R website : http://www.r-project.org The look it have now is the same for a long time and kind of sad compared to other statistical package's website. Of course, the comparison is not fair, since companies are paying web designers to draw lollipop

Hi, I run the following command and try to save the commands that have been run in the script. But it seems that no history is recorded. Is it because that the history is not recorded in Rscript? Regards, Peng $ Rscript savehistory.R > f=tempfile() > f [1] "/tmp/Rtmp7WBjGG/file327b23c6" > history() Error in savehistory(file) : no history available to save Calls: history ->

Hola! I am programming a class (S3) "symarray" for storing the results of functions symmetric in its k arguments. Intended use is for association indices for more than two variables, for instance coresistivity against antibiotics. There is one programming problem I haven't solved, making an inverse of the index function indx() --- se code below. It could for instance return the

Hi, First my apologies for a non-working piece of code in a previous submission, I have corrected this error. I'm doing is individual based modelling of a pathogen and it's host. The way I've thought of doing this is with two dataframes, one of the pathogen and it's genes and effector genes, and one of the host and it's resistance genes. During the simulation, these things

Hi, I have a question regarding the R command options under Linux Is there any options that I can save history only? The only save option is --save, which saves both data and history. I don't want to save temporary data, because sometimes the it takes much time if the temp data is too big. However I want to restore the history for my next R session.. If there is no such option that meets my

Hi, > history() gives Error in savehistory(file) : no history available to save although I can scroll throu history with C^uparrow an C^downarrow. How can I make history() work and/or show the current history in a file, so that I can choose from previous commands? The web did not throw up anything useful. TIA --Christian -- Christian W.

Several of the methods I use for analyzing large data sets, such as WinGamma: determining the level of noise in data Relief-F: estimating the influence of variables depend on finding the k nearest neighbors of a point in a data frame or matrix efficiently. (For large data sets it is not feasible to compute the 'dist' matrix anyway.) Seeing the proposed solution to "[R] distance

Dear R-Helpers, I'm fiddling with my .Rprofile in Windows XP & R 2.7.0 Beta. I prefer to manually save my workspace but automatically save my command history via the .Rprofile. That is working fine once I found that "utils::" was required before the loadhistory & savehistory functions. What I would like to do is add a separator line with a date between the histories of each

Hi guys, I am running glm(y~., data = history,family=binomial)-essentially, logistic regression for credit scoring (y = 0 or 1). The dataset 'history' has 14 variables, a few examples: history <- read.csv("history.csv". header = TRUE) 1> 'income = 100,200,300 (these are numbers in my dataset; however interpretation is that these are just tags or labels,for every

I have compiled R under Solaris 7 (SunOS 5.7) with the readline-4.0 library linked. Command line editing appears to work, but I cannot access command history. If I execute several commands in R, then type "history()", I get the error message "Error in savehistory(file) : no history available to save". Also, previous command recall (C-p) does not seem to work. I am invoking

I have an environment variable `$R_HISTFILE` pointing to `/home/my.username/.RHistory` and the following code in my `.Rprofile` in my home directory: .Last <- function() { if (!any(commandArgs()=='--no-readline') && interactive()){ require(utils) try(savehistory(Sys.getenv("R_HISTFILE"))) } }

Hi Everyone, I am a beginner running R 2.9.2 under Ubuntu and typically use Emacs w/ESS. However, I am confused with history() command. When I issue command history() in Emacs within an R session, this is what get: > history() Error in savehistory(file) : no history available to save Similarly, history(max=10) command gives the same error message. However, there is this In/Out Menu in the

Hi all, Are there any plans to add more functionality to command-line editing and history editing on the command line? In MATLAB (I know, comparisons are odious ...), you can type "p" and up-arrow on the command line and scroll through the recently entered commands beginning with "p". This is a very useful feature and something that I believe is not replicated in R. Please
