similar to: Storage of automatically loaded workspace and command files

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

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

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

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

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.

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

I started my laptop, opened a shell and get this error message: R : Copyright 2005, The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Version 2.2.1 (2005-12-20 r36812) ISBN 3-900051-07-0 lines deleted Error in fun(...) : couldn't find function "assignInNamespace" Error: .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'Matrix' Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .RData

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.

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

Another question: Is it possible to move R objects from one directory to another without copying the whole .RData and .Rhistory files?
