Hi, A piece of my code that uses readBin() to read a certain file type is behaving strangely with R 2.7.0. This seems to be because of a failure to match() strings after using rawToChar() when the original was terminated with a "\0" character. Direct equality testing with == still works as expected. I can reproduce this as follows: > x <- "foo" > y <-

hi all, i have a simple question. instead of defining my measurements in a static way like ... x <- c(-0.475, -1.553, -0.434, -1.019, 0.395) ... i'd like them to be read from a file ... x <- read.table("07a673ac0cb1f7f8fa293860566f633c/1/raw0.txt", header=FALSE) d1 <- density(x, kernel = "gaussian") with a formatting that looks like: 4.2840000000e-01

Hi, right now we have (on R v2.7.0 patched (2008-04-23 r45466)) that: > rawToChar(raw(0)) [1] "" > rawToChar(raw(0), multiple=TRUE) character(0) Is this intended or should both return character(0)? Personally, I would prefer that an empty input vector returns an empty output vector. Same should then apply to charToRaw(), but right now we get: > x <- character(0) >

Hi, I'm running into more issues when reading data from a gzfile connection. If I read the data sequentially with successive calls to readBin(), the data I get looks ok. But if I call seek() between the successive calls to readBin(), I get corrupted data. Here is a (hopefully) reproducible example. See my sessionInfo() at the end (I'm not on Windows, where, according to the man page,

Dear List, I have a list of 600+ *.gz files that I would like to extract and read the geotiffs contained within them. I tried using the untar() function to simplify this task but I am stumped by an error. I've combed the Internet for a solution without luck. The details are below, and any help in solving this matter is appreciated. > files = list.files(path = "J:/GIMMS/NDVI",

Dears Sirs During my computational work I encountered unexpected behavior when calling "ar" function, namely # time series x<-ts(c(-0.2052083,-0.3764986,-0.3762448,0.3740089,0.2737568,2.8235722,- 1.7783313,0.2728676,-0.3273164),start=c(1978,3),frequency=4,end=c(1980,3)) # ar function res.ar<-ar(x,aic=TRUE,demean=F) # call "ar" again and ............

Someone solved the problem of saving R-objects to a database? These are the two varaints I've tried so far without success: 1) ser = rawToChar(serialize(obj, NULL, ascii=TRUE)) dbSendQuery(link, paste("insert into table values(1, '",ser,"')",sep='')) The field to save the object in the MySQL Database is of type text. unser = dbGetQuery(link,"select

Dear R-Users, I need a very fast and reliable database solution so I try to serialize a data.frame (to binary data) and to store this data to an SQLite database. This is what I tried to do: library(RSQLite) con <- dbDriver("SQLite") db <- dbConnect(con, "test") dbSendQuery(db, 'CREATE TABLE frames("simID" INT, "data" BLOB)') data.bin <-

Hi all, What are current methods people use in R to identify mis-spelled column names when selecting columns from a data frame? Alice Johnson recently tackled this issue (see [BioC] posting below). Due to a mis-spelled column name ("FileName" instead of "Filename") which produced no warning, Alice spent a fair amount of time tracking down this bug. With my fumbling fingers

Working on Windows I have had to deal with CSV files that, unfortunately, contain embedded Control-Zs, i.e. ASCII character 26 in decimal, and the readLines() function in R on Windows (2.15.2 and 3.0.0) appears to truncate at the control-Z. There is no problem at all on Ubuntu Linux with R 3.0.0. Am I mistaken or is this genuine? # Create a small file with embedded Control-Z h3 <-

Does anyone know if there is a simple way to print raw vectors, such that ASCII characters are printed for bytes in the ASCII range, and their hex representation otherwise? rawToChar doesn't work when we have something like c(0x00, 0x00, 0x44, 0x00). -Matt

Hi useRs, A recent coding infelicity along these lines yielded a corrupt data frame. foo <- matrix(1:12, nrow = 3) bar <- data.frame(foo) bar$NewCol <- foo[foo[, 1] == 4, 4] bar lapply(bar, length) > foo <- matrix(1:12, nrow = 3) > bar <- data.frame(foo) > bar$NewCol <- foo[foo[, 1] == 4, 4] > bar X1 X2 X3 X4 NewCol 1 1 4 7 10 <NA> 2 2 5 8 11

Hi all, I have been having problems generating png files on a Mac running OS X 10.6.8.

Is anyone aware of a fast way of doing fisher's exact test for a series of 2 x 2 tables in R? The fisher.test is really slow if n1=1000 and n2 = 1000. -- Thanks, Jim. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I have some functions that write an external text file for postprocessing by another program. Some instructions to the other program need to be indicated by null values (\000 or ^@). The function currently uses code like: writeChar(rawToChar(as.raw(0)), con) where con is a connection to the file. Previous to version 2.8.0 this worked fine. With 2.8.0 it still works, but I get a warning

Hi there, I have the following problem and I hope somebody might help me. First of all: I am using WinXP SP3 (english and/or german) with R in Version 2.10.0. Now I am trying to install some packages but unfortunately I am getting a weird error. No matter which package I am trying to install - I nearly get the same error. It looks like this:

Hi all, I believe this is a bug in the model.matrix function. I'd like a second opinion before filing a bug report. If I have a nested covariate B with multiple values for just one level of A, I can not get a non-singular design matrix out of model.matrix > df <- data.frame(A = factor(c("a", "a", "x", "x"), levels = c("x",

My setup: R 2.4.0, Windows 2000, Acrobat Reader 7. When I create a .pdf with translucent colors, the translucency works correctly for points, but not for text. Below is some R code that creates a .pdf with this phenomenon. I was going to report this as a bug in R, but then I tried to view the pdf with a couple of other viewers and found that at least one of the viewers correctly displayed the
