similar to: [patch] Rscript off-by-one error in output

I don't know if this is a bug. I can reproduce the following on Ubuntu 12.04.2 and 13.04 64-bit with R version 3.0.1 and with r63479. There is no difference if R is patched with the fix for PR#15407 or not, although without the fix there are more ways to trigger this. I can reproduce with the following: 1. Open R in gnome-terminal or xterm 2. Run 'library(tcltk)' 3. Run

I have two comments regarding the Posting Guide: (1) The link in the following sentence did not work for me: Take care when you quote other people's comments to respect their rights, e.g., as summarized here[a].

Below is an example of output that changed as a result of r64970. I did not see any NEWS item suggesting this change is expected. Note that the example is contrived and I don't have a use case for it. I stumbled across it when playing with recent changes in R relating to duplication. Does the example use undefined syntax? ----- fn1 <- function(mylist) { fn1a <- function()

Hi, I am using a local patch to have CMD check exit with error if there is a note or warning. Am I missing an already existing way to do this? If not, Is there any interest in having an option or environment variable for this upstream? I would be interested in making a patch. If so, option or environment variable? Any suggestions for the name? Should this be two options or one option with

Regarding the following extract of ?options: ?editor?: a non-empty string, or a function that is called with a file path as argument. edit.default currently calls the function with three arguments: name, file, and title. For example, running the following vimCmd <- 'vim -c "set ft=r"' vimEdit <- function(file_) system(paste(vimCmd, file_)) options(editor =

tools::md5sum gives a warning if it receives a directory as an argument on Unix but not on Windows. >From what I understand, this happens because in Windows a directory is not treated as a file so fopen returns NULL. Then, NA is returned without a warning. On Unix, a directory is treated as a file so fopen does not return NULL so md5 is run and fails, leading to a warning. This is a good

Attached is a patch with minor suggestions for the R-ints manual at r64048. The most substantial change is the following: The top layer comprises the graphics subsystems. Although there is -provision for 24 subsystems, after 6 years only two exist, `base' and +provision for 24 subsystems, since 2001 only two exist, `base' and `grid'. Is the year 2001 correct? I base it on the date

The following example in ?dump.frames options(error = quote({dump.frames(to.file = TRUE); q()})) is useful for teaching the user how to save a frame dump when R encounters an error during non-interactive sessions. This command however causes an additional change that on encountering an error R exits with a 0 error status. Although it's just an example, it's an important one as it's

Attached is a patch with suggestions for the R-lang manual at r64277. Below are a few comments (some are implemented in the patch): In the section "Objects", there is a table introduced by "The following table describes the possible values returned by typeof". One of the results is "any". Can "any" be returned by "typeof()" ? Regarding the

Hi, A user of my `optparse` package discovered a bug in Rscript's parsing of [args]. (https://github.com/trevorld/optparse/issues/24) I've reproduced the bug on my machine including compiling and checking the development version of R. I couldn't find a mention of it in the Bug Tracker or New Features. Can be minimally reproduced on the UNIX command line with following commands:

Greetings, I am creating a standalone executable script using Rscript and have run into problems when I define a new S4 class. Here is a small script that demonstrates my problem: #!/usr/bin/env Rscript # # toy.Rscript -- testing S4 class creation in an Rscript setClass("toy", representation(name = "character", price = "numeric"),

Good morning R-help, I have an idiot question: I would like to use getSrcDirectory() and friends to allow me to identify where an R file has been called from when invoked using Rscript. If I understand the documentation correctly, the following example should work: In file test.R: options(keep.source=T) fn<-function(x){x<-x+1} srcDir<-getSrcDirectory(fn) print(srcDir) I

Dear all, finally decided to do an Ubuntu upgrade and a new clean R install from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/. However, while trying to install a package from R-forge I encountered problems, involving error messages saying "Rscript execution error: No such file or directory" (see below). The same procedure works on Ubuntu 11.04 running R 2.12.1-1 from the Ubuntu

One of the examples in Rscript.Rd seems mis-formatted, in that the format statement is incomplete: ## Not run: Rscript -e 'date()' -e 'format(Sys.time(), " Both Rscript.Rd in R 2.5.0 and the version at: https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/library/utils/man/Rscript.Rd have Rscript -e 'date()' -e 'format(Sys.time(), "%a %b %d %X %Y")' Do

Hi all, this is probably some tricky configuration file problem, but I figure someone here might have come across this in the past: In short, I've been using Rscript to run my scripts, usually successfully. But recently I've run into a strange problem, and the only function that causes an error is "print". I can create a file that contains only a print command, and it causes

See the example below (under Ubuntu): $ Rscript -e '1' -e '2' [1] 1 [1] 2 $ Rscript -e '1' -e '' -e '2' ERROR: option '-e' requires an argument $ uname -a Linux xie 3.5.0-25-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon Feb 25 18:26:58 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Similar problem under Windows: Rscript -e "1" -e "" -e "2" [1]

Dear all, I am trying to use multiple version of R unpacked from CRAN deb files. It does work successfully, except for some packages installation, whether Rscript has been used. I have configured alternatives and switch R environments without any problem and can install most of the packages. '====================================================== $ update-alternatives --display R R - auto

Thanks Tomas. I confirm the quick workaround works for me in the DOS prompt, and when having a shortcut to RScript in SendTo, and when used in the Task Scheduler. I have not tested the R-devel version, due to my unfamiliarity with installing from source code. -----Original Message----- From: Tomas Kalibera [mailto:tomas.kalibera at gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2018 6:34 AM To: Kerry

Hi, I seem to have a problem when passing named parameters to R via Rscript (R2.5.1, bash shell). As soon as I name elements of a list Rscript generates an error. I will appreciate if someone could point to me a correct way of doing this. Thanks, Vadim ## This works bash-3.2$ Rscript.exe -e 'list(1)' [[1]] [1] 1 # and these do not work bash-3.2$ Rscript.exe -e

I figured out how to use quotes and parentheses when using Rscript -e (on a bash shell): Rscript -e write\(1,\"a.txt\"\) --> Question 1: why do the parentheses need to be escaped in the shell? (More a shell than an R question) Then I figured out how to use quotes and parentheses when calling Rscript through system: system('Rscript -e write\\(1,\\\'a.txt\\\'\\)')
