Hello, All: The "writeFindFn2xls" function in the "sos" package tries to write an Excel file with 3 sheets ('PackageSum2', 'findFn', 'call'). Unfortunately, it is often unable to do this because of configuration problems that are not easy to fix. I've found 3 contributed packages that provide facilities to write Excel files with

Hello: What should I do regarding code to write an Excel file in a non-Windows platform? The "sos" package [new version of "RSiteSearch"] on R-Forge includes "writeFindFn2xls", which starts with "require(RODBC)". The next line calls "odbcConnectExcel". This works under Windows but fails under Linux and MacOS. What

This error can arise when getOption("width") is too small. 80 seems to be the limit for me with R-3.3.2 on Windows.

Hello, All: What can people tell me about converting back slashes to forward slashes in character strings? Several years ago, Prof. Ripley provided a solution, which I lost and have not been able to find. Below please find a function to do this. I do not find this very satisfactory, however, because it uses "scan" and therefore operates on an input not a

Hello, All: Jonathan Baron is "giving up" maintaining the RSiteSearch database. This breaks three things: (1) The R Site Search web service that Baron has maintained. (2) The RSiteSearch function in the utils package. (3) The sos package, for which I'm the maintainer and lead author. Might someone else be willing to take these over? For me,

Don't do anything yet. I may have found the problem by accident. I tried to use the computer from something else, and it was being drastically slowed down by some leftover processes, which turned out to be xlhtml. That is something that converts Excel files. Apparently, some excel files got into the libraries, and they were causing the indexing to hang completely. I am now running everything

Spencer, Thanks for the quick reply. I am open to someone who knows Perl getting an account on my site and trying to get it working. It will probably involve fixing more than one thing, as mknmz depends on some perl modules that also generate errors. My main contribution is figuring out how to extract the html help files and vignettes only, with some help from R developers and Fedora

OK. It is sort of fixed and sort of works. We'll keep it for now, but this is not going to work forever. When namazu fails completely I will not have the time to install a new search engine. One option is to use google. For a site like this, I think they will want some money, but I'm not sure, and I do not have the time to deal with it. We have over 10,000 packages now. I wonder if

Hello: What is the recommended procedure for skipping long tests in "R CMD check --as-cran"?
