Dear list, this might be an easy one, but I could figure out a solution (or how to google the right term). Is there any way to test whether all elements of a vector are identical? For numeric vectors I would use sum(diff(vector)==0)==0 but I have character vectors. Any Ideas? Cheers Jannis

Hi, I'm making some tests with Tellfree brazilian provider. I'm using 2 users A and B, one for calling and the other to receive calls. When I make a call I can see (from the CLI console) user A is calling user B but user B does not answer (the phone continues to ring) even if the "sip show registry" command says user B is registered. In my sip.conf I have: register =>

Dear list, is there a function in R that returns the product of a vector? E.g. if the vector is c(1,2,3,4) it should return 1*2*3*4=24 Cheers Jannis

Dear list memebers, I am stuck with using regular expressions. Imagine I have a vector of character strings like: test <- c('filename_1_def.pdf', 'filename_2_abc.pdf') How could I use regexpressions to extract only the 'def'/'abc' parts of these strings? Some try from my side yielded no results: testresults <-

Dear list members, I frequently program small scripts and wrap them into functions to be able to check them with checkUsage. In case these functions (loaded via source or copy pasted to the R console) use functions from other packages, I get this error: no visible global function definition for ?xxxxxxx? For example: test = function() { require(plotrix) color.legend() }

Dear List, does anybody has experience with the RNetCDF package? I manage to open a connection and copy data from a ncdf file but would need a way to automatically retrieve variable names (ideally all of them from one file) and units from the file. Any ideas? Jannis

Hey R folks, i found some strange (to me) behaviour with chron to POSIXct conversion. The two lines of code result in two different results, on ewith the correct time zone, one without: library(chron) as.POSIXct(chron('12/12/2000'), tz = 'UTC') as.POSIXlt(chron('12/12/2000'), tz = 'UTC') Only the code below would give me a POSIXct object with the correct time

Dear R community, I have a general question regarding indexing in multidiemensional arrays. Imagine I have a three dimensional array and I only want to extract on vector along a single dimension from it: data <- array(rnorm(64),dim=c(4,4,4)) result <- data[1,1,] If I want to extract more than one of these vectors, it would now really help me to supply a logical matrix of the

Dear list, I am trying to understand and use the ff package. As I had some problems saving some ff objects, and as I did not fully manage to understand the whole concept of *.ff, *.ffData and *.RData with the help of the documentation, I tried to reproduce the examples from the help of ffsave. When I ran, however : (copied from the help) message("let's create some ff objects")

Dear list members, is it possible to set some options only inside a function so that the original options are restored once the function is finished or aborted due to an error? Until now I do something like: dummy=function() { old.options=options(error=dummy1()) .... options(old.options) } This works for most cases but when the function terminates because of an error and its last

Dear R developers, as far as I understand the manual of list.files(), there is only a way to exclude directories from the returned vector if you use list.files recursively. In non recursive mode, there seems to be no way of excluding directories (the include dirs argument does not seem to have any effect). Would it not be more intuitive and practical to allow the switching off of directory

Hi, here comes my problem, say I have the following functions (example case) #------------------------------------------------------------ function1 <- function (x, theta) {a <- theta[1] ( 1 - exp(-theta[2]) ) * theta[3] ) b <- x * theta[1] / theta[3]^2 return( list( a = a, b = b )) } #----------------------------------------------------------- function2<-function (x, theta) {P

Dear list members, does anyone have an idea why the following construction does not work but gives the following error message: assign('test', array(1:10, dim=c(10,10))) dimnames(get('test')) <- list(1:10,1:10) Error in dimnames(get("test")) <- list(1:10, 1:10) : target of assignment expands to non-language object What could be a way to get this to work?

Dear all, I have a variable that I would like also to use it as a string. The reasons is that I want to collect results from different function to one table.. So when I use the  colnames(mymatrix) <-c(function1.function2,function3) the function1, function2, function3 to be "converted" to simple strings so as  colnames(mymatrix)

Dears, a way to define x and y positions in plots in relative numbers (e.g in fractions between 0 and 1 referring to relative positions inside the plot region) would really help me. One example I would need this to would be to add text via text() to a plot always at a defined spot, e.g the upper left corner. Until now I always determined maximum x and y values and used those, but defining

Dear all, I am encountering a cyclic dependency error when running R CMD check on an R package I wrote (R version 2.6.1, Mac OS X 10.4), see the error message below. Creating a new generic function for "print" in "clValid" Creating a new generic function for "summary" in "clValid" Creating a new generic function for "plot" in

Hi I'm storing two functions in a list # creating two function function1 <- function(n) { return(sum(n)) } function2 <- function(n) { return(mean(n)) } #storing the function function3 =c(function1,function2) is it possible to call the stored function and used it ? x=c(10,29) funtion3[1](x) Thanks ----- Thanks in Advance Arun -- View this message in context:

Dear List, i would like to mimic the behaviour or the following indexing with a do.call construct to be able to supply the arguments to `[` as a list: test = matrix[1:4,2] result = test[2,] My try, however, did not work: result = do.call(`[`,list(test,2,NULL)) result = do.call(`[`,list(test,2,)) result = do.call(`[`,list(test,2,'')) How can I use the do.call in that way with

Dear R users, i am trying to get the line number of the code where an error is produced. With the options: options(keep.source = TRUE, show.error.locations = TRUE, keep.source.pkgs = TRUE) I have managed to get the error locations to show up when i source the respective files. They do not, however, show up for the same errors when I use installed packages. Do I have to build these packages

Hello, I'm having a problem with using subset() inside a function I'm writing. Ignoring everything else in the function, the problem can be illustrated by (where master.frame is the data frame I'm using): function1 <- function(arg1="", arg2="", arg3=""){ temp.frame <- subset(master.frame, a == arg1 & b == arg2 & c == arg3) } This
