similar to: cat with backspace and newline characters

I noticed an odd side effect of the different implementations of backspace (erase) through clients such as PuTTY and SecureCRT and the input functions like fgets (I noticed this originally in ssh-keygen). On our AIX system, if the option to use ^? as the backspace key is chosen, fgets will actually put the control code for 'DEL' in the buffer (0x7f) instead of deleting the last character

Interesting. Not what I expected. This is Ruby 1.8.6. > irb irb(main):001:0> str = "abx\bc" => "abx\bc" irb(main):002:0> str.length => 5 irb(main):003:0> s = str.sub(/.\b/, '''') => "ab\bc" irb(main):004:0> s.length => 4 irb(main):005:0> s = str.sub(/.\x08/, '''') => "abc"

Hi, another Rd related issue I encountered is that if an error occurs in an \Sexpr in an Rd file, then on get the following error: * checking for portable compilation flags in Makevars ... OK * checking for portable use of $(BLAS_LIBS) and $(LAPACK_LIBS) ... OK * checking examples ... ERROR Error in paste(before, x, after, sep = "") : object 'exfile' not found Execution halted

Hi Henrik (and list), I am interested in a similar feature, and would be happy to see the suggestions you got off-line :) Have you come up with a robust solution, which would work in a variety of situations (in examples, tests, \Sexpr calls, etc..)? Thank you. Bests, Renaud -- Renaud Gaujoux Computational Biology - University of Cape Town South Africa

Hi, when I run R CMD check with flag --as-cran, the process hangs at stage: * checking CRAN incoming feasibility ... I am pretty sure it is a proxy issue. I looked at the check code in the tools package and it seems that the issue is in the local function `.repository_db()` (defined in `tools:::.check_package_CRAN_incoming()`), which eventually calls `url()` with argument

Hi, suppose you have two versions of the same algorithm: one in pure R, the other one in C/C++ called via .Call(). Assuming there is no bug in the implementations (i.e. they both do the same thing), is there any well known reason why the C/C++ implementation could return numerical results non identical to the one obtained from the pure R code? (e.g. could it be rounding errors? please

I try to make an asterisk system and downloaded and unzipped the file asterisk-1.0-RC1.tar.gz.

Hi, is there a way to define a method say '$$' that would behave like '$' and allow calls like 'a$$name'? Thanks.

Hi, running install.packages() to install a package from a local repository (i.e., starts with file:///) appears to delete the PACKAGES file that is in the src/contrib/ directory. This happens on a cluster running Scientific Linux release 6.4 (Carbon), but not on my Ubuntu local machine. Subsequent calls to install.packages() complain about src/contrib/PACKAGES not existing, although there still

Hi, I started this post on bioc-devel but this seems to be more general: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2013-May/004311.html See reproducible example from Martin below. Thank you.

Hi, this post is about foreach operators, the compiler package and the last update of doMC that includes support for the compiler functionality. I am using a home-made %dopar%-like operator that adds some custom expression to be executed before the foreach loop expression itself (see sample code below). It used to work perfectly with doMC 1.2.1, but with the introduction of the compiler

Howdy! I have a problem that's similar to one discussed earlier on the list: When not in xterm all the backspace and cursor-movements and stuff are working well. Only when I start R in an xterm window backspace appears as ^H and so on. What can I do?

Hi, from the man page ?methods, I expected to be able to build pairs (class,package) for a given S3 method, e.g., print, using attr(methods(print), 'info'). However all the methods, except the ones defined in base or S4 methods, get the 'from' value "registered S3method for print", instead of the actual package name (see below for the first rows). Is this normal

Noted that xterm by default uses 24 lines per window. I have reviewed /etc/termcap looking for a specific entry for xterm that I can edit to change the ln#24 to ln#25 for our application. When I used RedHat there was an editable option to change the number of displayable lines as is done in putty. Any suggestions? --Hal. -- Hal Davison Observe Goal, Set the course, Burn the map

Hi, is there a simple way, I mean a utility that converts a windows package (.zip file) to a Linux source package (tar.gz or even simply extract the source code and Rd files needed to run successfully a R CMD check). The windows package doesn't have any external lib, C code, etc..., just plain R code, so in theory it is quite straight forward (extract the code from the functions, and

Hi, I am having troubles sourcing a file from our local network from R. It looks like this file are not properly accessed by 'source', even they can be downloaded with download.file. (See below my settings and some tests I did). I ended up with a work around, but I would like to understand what is going on. Doesn't source/readLines uses the same mechanism as download.file to

Hi All, I'm not very good with Vim. I noticed when it is in INSERT Mode, the backspace key no longer works. How to do I configure it so that it will work with the backspace key? Any ideas? Thanks Mary
