similar to: Where does R store workspace and commands that load on startup

When I close R and answer yes to save workspace, R automatically loads it and apparently also the command history at start up. I would like to know where R stores this information. I know that I can save .RData and .Rhistory files, but I would like to know how(where) R stores this information automatically. I have not found any .RData or .Rhistory files associated with start up. I am running

After installing a new version of R, how do I make the packages that I have already installed and use on the old version available to the new version? Thank you, Roy Robertson

Hi All, I am one of the contributors to the FastR project ( https://bitbucket.org/allr <https://bitbucket.org/allr.>) and I have encountered an interesting issue when trying to implement vector accesses within FastR. I am trying to understand what kind of error message should be generated for the following expression: x<-1:4; x[[1]]<-NULL; x In order to determine the error message,

NOTE: WinXP, R2.2.0 All, a while back I posted a question about using relative filereferencing. The responses have allowed me to successfully set up the following directory structure: ...\data\raw ...\data\derived ...\prog ...\lst ...\log In the \prog directory I have put an RGui.exe shortcut and "pointed it" at \prog as the "Start In" location. In the same

Dear R users, I am having a minor but annoying issue with R.app. It doesn't retain the history information from the previous sessions. By "history," I mean a record of commands/functions entered into R rather than the list of objects--that is properly recorded in the .Rdata file as well as in a workspace file I save separately. System details: R version 2.9.0 R.app GUI 1.28 Mac OS

I use ESS and have no problems invoking it when I fire up emacs. When it loads it tells me, [Previously saved workspace restored]. However, I do not know how to view that history of commands so I can continue what I was doing. Since the buffer begins with ESS, what do I do to view that restored workspace? TIA, Rich

The .Renviron and .First functions do not seem to work the same way on a Mac OS 10.4 as on a Windows XP machine. From working in Windows I am used to creating a new directory for each data analysis project. In the new directory I place First, an .Renviron file consisting of the following text: R_HISTFILE="history.txt" R_HISTSIZE=1000000 Second, an .RData file containing a .First

Hello everyone, I had a few questions that I have not been able to figure out despite a lot of reading. 1) Adding a title to a multiplot figure: If I plot multiple plots with >par(mfrow=c(2,6)) how do I add an overall title to the figure, not the individual plots? 2) Saving histories on the fly: Is there a .Rhistory equivalent to >save.image() ? I would like to be able to save the

If you start Rterm/Rgui from the cmd (NT4.4) command line, the .Rhistory and .RData files are created/used in the current directory. I think, R should honor HOME or even the USERPROFILE variable.

Win 7 64 bit R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31) How to permanently remove; [Previously saved workspace restored] > rm (list = ls( )) On next start it still displays; .....

A quick summary. The reported problem appears to be with (some) previous histories. If you find that neither up arrow nor ctrl-P work in the Rgui console, please delete .Rhistory and try again. We don't know the exact cause, and nothing I can think of can reproduce this. I have no problem taking histories made with rw1001 and reading them in rw1010 and vice versa. If the .Rhistory is really

Hi all, I've ecountered a problem in the last few days with my .Rhistory file not being able to be updated when I quit an R session because its file attributes under Windows have been set as "Hidden". Recently, I put the following line in my global Rprofile file:- history(max.show=Inf) so that I automatically open the entire history file for a project when I begin a session, but I

Saving your workspace means that the variables you currently have defined in your session [ everything that shows up when you type ls() ] are saved to a file, by default named ?.RData?. To restore the workspace, you use the ?Load Workspace? command and navigate to the (same) .RData file. Its default location for Windows, as far as I know, is your ?Documents? folder. So look there. I see that you

Dear R users, I have a .RData which contains .Last object as follows: .Last <- function () { savehistory(file = ".Rhistory") } In this directory, if I issue the following command Rterm --save < mycmds.q to execute commands in mycmds.q and to save results in .RData, I got the following error message towards the end of the execution: Error in savehistory(file) :

Hi, I have R installed under a Mandrake linux system and I don't have shell utilities any more under my R console such as completion when writing a file path, back and forth in the history, bindkeys... Moreover when I quit R by saving, no .Rhistory file is created while the .Rdata is. I don't get how this work, I thought it was based on the user unix shell but it does not seem. Any

Hi, It seems simple but I could not find the solution on the R site. I can't save properly ".RData" and ".Rhistory" in Windows 7 folders. I get files with no extension.

dear members, I am a stock trader. I am using R for my research. I want to service my laptop, wherein resides all my R code, which, for obvious reasons, has to be secured. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate. I cannot encrypt the R data by Bitdefender, as it encrypts the entire drive. I anyway need to give the key when the system, if at all, gets locked when servicing. My
