I found this as well. At our institution, our home directories are on network shares that are mapped to local drives. The default, it appears, is to set the location for libraries (etc) to the network share name (//computer//share/director/a/b/user) rather than the local drive mapping (H:/). Given the issue with dir.create(), this means it's impossible to install packages (since it tries to

In researching another issue, I discovered a workaround: the network drive folder needs to be mapped to the local PC. setwd("//Hzndhhsvf2/data/OCPH/EPI/BHSDM/Group/Michael Laviolette/Stat tools") df1 <- readxl::read_excel("addrlist-4-MikeL.xls", 2) # fails, throws same error df2 <- readxl::read_excel("Z:/Stat

I wonder if this could be related to the issue that I submitted to bugzilla about two months ago? ( https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17159) That is to say, could it be that it's treating the first path after the single backslash as an actual directory, rather than as the name of the share? -- Evan Cortens, PhD Institutional Analyst - Office of Institutional Analysis

Hello--I'm doing a simple crosstab using dcast: rawfreq <- dcast(nh11brfs, race3~CHCCOPD, length) with the results race3 Yes No NA 1 White non-Hispanic 446 5473 21 2 Other non-Hispanic 29 211 0 3 Hispanic 6 81 1 4 <NA> 10 83 1 How would I modify this call to exclude all missing values; that is, to obtain race3

My data frame consists of character variables, factors, and proportions, something like c1 <- c("A", "B", "C", "C") c2 <- factor(c(1, 1, 2, 2), labels = c("Y","N")) x <- c(0.5234, 0.6919, 0.2307, 0.1160) y <- c(0.9251, 0.7616, 0.3624, 0.4462) df <- data.frame(c1, c2, x, y) pct <- function(x) round(100*x, 1) I want to

I'm having difficulty overlaying maps when writing to a file graphics device. My command sequence has the structure plot(map1) par(new = T) plot(map2) On the screen device, it works fine. When I attempt something like png(file = "map.png") plot(map1) par(new = T) plot(map2) dev.off() only the last map appears, the previous ones having been cleared. Can someone clarify? Thanks,

I'm trying to use sqldf to query for the earliest date of a blood test when patients have had multiple tests in a given year. My query looks like this: test11 <- sqldf("select CHILD_ID, min(SAMP_DATE) from lab group by CHILD_ID having extract (year from SAMP_DATE) = 2011") SAMP_DATE has class "date." I get the error

I'm trying to use the survey package to calculate a risk difference with confidence interval for binge drinking between sexes. Variables are X_RFBING2 (Yes, No) and SEX. Both are factors. I can get the group prevalences easily enough with result <- svyby(~X_RFBING2, ~SEX, la04.svy, svymean, na.rm = TRUE) and then extract components from the svyby object with SE() and coef() to do the

Hello, I discovered a bug or undocumented behavior in normalizePath steps to reproduce: execute normalizePath on a folder link on windows. When you are on a non-english windows box, you likely have links in place for windows' default folders, e.g. "C:\Programme" linking to "C:\Program Files" on german windows boxes. Thus executing

Hi Jiefei, the change in handling trailing path separators is not on purpose, but is a byproduct of a new implementation of normalizePath, which now handles symbolic links and normalizes case in long path names. It is not documented what happens to trailing separators, and hence portable programs should not depend on it. I don't think it is a property that should be documented/specified.

That would not help other R users who were looking in the archives for help with what looked like a mysterious normalizePath error, would it? As I said, the principal intent of the posting was to point to a

The fs[1] function `fs::path_abs()` does what I believe you were expecting `normalizePath()` to do in this case. e.g. setwd("~") normalizePath("foo/bar") #> Warning in normalizePath("foo/bar") : #> path[1]="foo/bar": No such file or directory #> [1] "foo/bar" fs::path_abs("foo/bar") #>

I'm having an issue with occasionally slow-running calls to normalizePath. If the path is a non-existent UNC path, then normalizePath sometimes takes 6 or 7 seconds to run, rather than its usual few microseconds. My big problem is that I can't reliably reproduce this across machines. The example below generates one or two slow runs out of 10000 on my Windows machine. I haven't been

Dear developers, I have a small but more or less well defined inquiry. Another, more general one for which I was not able to find information is towards the end of this messages. The question seems to be too technical for R-help, that is why I post it here. When installing packages (Windows XP), occasionally the installation does not complete because, it seems, Windows locks some files.

Dear all, I'm not sure whether this is intended behaviour or a bug. The path returns from normalizePath is different when the directory doesn't exist. I have included a reproducible example. path <- tempfile() missing.dir <- normalizePath(path, winslash = "/", mustWork = FALSE) dir.create(path) existing.dir <- normalizePath(path, winslash = "/", mustWork =

Dear friend Duncan, Thank you so much for your kind reply. Yes, that is exactly what is happening, there are a lot of NA values at the start, so R assumes that the field is of type boolean. The challenge that I am facing is that I want to read into R an Excel file that has many sheets (46 in this case) but I wanted to combine all 46 sheets into a single dataframe (since the columns are exactly

If we are fiddling with normalizePath, having a way of not following symlinks (otheer than ~) would be useful as well. I had to write normalizePath2 in switchr for a specific on-the-ground need to NOT go down all he way to physical paths on a remote compute system because of how IT handled implementing constant pathing on top of swapping out hardware, and I can't imagine i'm the only

Hi, I update R from 2.10 to 2.13. Then I find soma problems when I start R. Warning infos as below: ##### Warning message: In normalizePath(c(new, .Library.site, .Library), "/") : path[1]="": No such file or directory R version 2.13.1 (2011-07-08) Copyright (C) 2011 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing ISBN 3-900051-07-0 Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) R is

Hi all, I saw a quite surprising result in the devel R when using the function *normalizePath*. If the input is a path to a folder, the function returns an absolute path with/without a slash at the end depending on the existence of the folder. I know both results are valid on Windows but this behavior is different than R3.6, I do not know if the change in the devel version is made on purpose.
