Thomas, As F Harrel in a preceding message told me that you are the maintainer of Hmisc package, I write directly to you, with copy to the Rhelp list in case someone encountered the same problem and find some benefit in the response. I used quite often the function sas.get in Hmisc library which I is very, very useful. But, as trying to reuse it today it seems not to function anymore. I tried

I'm trying to install the current R-devel on a G4 powerbook.

Hi I was trying to run mu-online, I'm using wine 1.3.10 under kubuntu 10.04 The game installs(with vcrun2005,vcrun2008 and mcf42 from winetricks) But I can't see the fonts. To see the fonts I read I have to disable anti-aliasing, this was possible in older versions of wine, but for some reasons it was disabled, or moved, any idea on how I can disable anti-aliasing? It's not a

Hello everyone. Since I''ve found very poor documentation about the rails FCKEditor plug-in and Easy-FCKEditor (which is a fork of the very same plug-in), I decided to bother you with my noobish questions. I have this weird sensation that the image-uploading feature of FCKEditor isn''t supposed to work magically, without some sort of server side preparation, but I have no idea

Dear R-users, It is my understanding that cat(shQuote(a.string)) should print the origintal a.string. Is this right? I am not sure cat() correctly prints strings which are generated by triple-shQuote(): > shQuote(shQuote("a")) [1] "\"\\\"a\\\"\"" > cat(shQuote(shQuote(shQuote("a"))), '\n')

Greetings on A.N. Kolmogorov's 100th birthday: I am sure that this is a resolved problem, certainly it has been raised in R help several times before, but I can't seem to find the right clue. I've recently upgraded a G4 to OS 10.2.5 and I thought I would have another go at installing R from source, after failing to accomplish this in 10.1. So with 1.7.0 from CRAN configure seems to

I would like to include a Mathematica notebook and cdf file (both are ASCII files) in the \inst\doc directory as supporting documentation. These files are not large, about 340K each one. When I check using R CMD check --as-cran ... I get the following warning: ...................... * checking data for ASCII and uncompressed saves ... OK WARNING 'qpdf' is needed for checks on size

Hello, I wanted to ask help about importing sas datasets. 1)I tried with some functions as read.ssd (foreign package), but it doesn't import the file if the length of the variables' names are longer than 8 bite (it has to conform to the 6 version). 2)I then tried with the sas.get function (Hmisc package) but with the command: c<- sas.get(lib="c:\\ghan",

Hi, This is my first post to this list, so I apologize in advance if I mess up on any list etiquette. Jumping right in, I’m making use of the DebugInfo/DWARF APIs to get debugging information out of binaries (what else!). One of the bits of data I need is the location information stored in the location list section as well as inline in DW_AT_location attributes and similar. So far I’ve succeeded

Current R release (3.5.2) and devel return a 0 exit status on error, while prior versions returned a non-zero exit status. On Linux and MacOs, the following line returns TRUE for R-3.5.2 and R-devel, and FALSE for R-3.5.1 and R-3.5.0: system2("Rscript", c("-e", shQuote("stop('foo')"))) == 0 I didn't find this in the NEWS, so I believe this is a bug.

Consider the question we had recently: "how do I count the lines in a file without reading it into R?" The solution I suggested was as.numeric(system(paste("wc -l <", filename), TRUE)) Unfortunately, it doesn't work, or at least, not all the time. If you already know all about that, and don't care, or already have a solution, stop reading now. Otherwise, let

Simple question but searching rseek did not yield the results I wanted. Question: Is there a way to open a help manual for a package from within R. For instance I would like to type a function in r for the tm package and R would open that PDF as seen here: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/tm/tm.pdf -The vignette function exists for vignettes [vignette("package.name")] so I

R Community, I often am in need of viewing the reference manuals of packages and do not have Internet access. I have used the code: path <- find.package('tm') system(paste(shQuote(file.path(R.home("bin"), "R")),"CMD", "Rd2pdf",shQuote(path))) someone kindly provided from this help list to generate the manuals from the latex files. This

Dear friends of R, I want to produce a pdf file with the contents of a matrix. I employ the latex command in combination with dvi, both contained in the Hmisc package. It seems to me that the function does not correctly set the directory. > tbl.loc <- matrix(1:4, nc=2) > latex.obj <- latex(tbl.loc) > dvi(latex.obj) warning: extra args ignored after 'cd' H:\PROJECTS\data

Hi again! While investigating the bug report [*] I found out that on unix, system2 does not quote its `stdin` argument while preparing the command line to launch. It does shQuote the `stdout` and `stderr` arguments, and also the `f <- tmpfile()` variable (which is used if `input` argument is provided), which seems to set a precedent. On Windows, stdin, stdout, and stderr are handled

Dear R People: I'm using R-2.8.1 on Ubuntu Jaunty jackalope (or whatever its name is), and having a problem with the vignette function: > vignette("snowfall") sh: /usr/bin/xpdf: not found > Has anyone run into this, please? Or is this for the Debian R list, please? Thanks, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences

Hi, I don't know if I am the first one to report the problem: in 2.8.0 dev2bitmap gained aa support, but "extra" is null if neither taa nor naa is specified. > dev2bitmap("plot.pdf",type="pdfwrite") Error in paste(shQuote(gsexe), " -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -q -sDEVICE=", type, : object "extra" not found >

Colleagues, I am interesting in opening a PDF document via the command line from both Windows, OS X, and Linux ( R version 2.8.0). I found a command openPDF in Biobase. However, I would rather execute the command myself. For example, in OS X: > system("open filename.pdf") is successful. Is there a comparable command line command for Windows or Linux?

I use the ugly hack shown below as my .Rprofile (mainly because I couldn't find any other way to spawn a new mozilla window on starting R or calling help.start(), but then send all the help html documents to that new window). With a recent change from a cvs checkout to the released 1.9.0 I find that the new hs() appears if there is nothing of that name in .RData, but if there is the old hs()
