similar to: Q: Windows/readline: missing history search

Hi i'm new to R and find that the "history" functionality works a little different than in unix. A very convenient feature of history in unix is the ability to recall a comand by typing in !x where x is a letter and the latest matching command in the history that starts with the letter is (re)called. This is useful for instance, when calling a "source" command by !s rather

R community, I feel almost embarrassed to ask this question as it is strange behavior. When I think there's a bug around R or a package I ask "Self it's not a bug what dumb thing are you doing?" I'm running version 2.14.2 (2012-02-29) on a Windows 7 machine using the standard rgui Ever since I downloaded this latest version I have been having difficulty using the windows

I'm running an R script in Rterm and would like the user to be prompted for input as in: id <- readline("Please enter ID: ") myfunction(id) . . . etc. This works when I run one line at a time in RGui, but not when I try to run the script in Rterm (I'm working with R 2.2.0 in Windows Server 2003). Is there any way to do this? Mikkel

This is interesting: The crash does not happen if I run Rgui in MDI mode. The crash seemed to only occur in SDI. Andy =========================================================== For the record: Under Rgui, using the menu "File / Channge dir..." to change to a network drive crashes rgui. The crash happens if I browse to a folder on a mapped drive. I.e., if I type in

Hola Miguel Angel: Primero que nada gracias por tu aporte. Los parámetros del MDI que tengo en el fichero Rconsole son: MDI = yes MDIsize = 0*0+0+0 En lo de llamar a R usando start /MAX Rgui.exe, lo cierto es que no se muy bien a que te refieres. EL campo Destino del Acceso directo que uso para abrir Excel es: "C:\Program Files\R\R-3.2.0\bin\x64\Rgui.exe" --internet2 y la

Just a quick followup to the query I posted yesterday. The default screen layout for the Windows version of R (1.5.1 currently) is MDI, which has the RGUI itself maximized over the entire screen, while the R console is in a smaller window inside the RGui. I asked whether there was some way at startup to change the amount of screen real-estate occupied by the RGui itself since this can be

Hi, Obviously history() will only work with readline installed: so far I have not been able to find working advice for installing and enabling readline on MacOSX. > sessionInfo() R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0/x86_64 (64-bit) locale: [1] C attached base packages: [1] tools tcltk stats4 splines parallel datasets compiler [8] graphics

Hello, I think I've found a bug in the C function do_grep located in src/main/grep.c. It seems to affect both the latest revisions of R-2-13-branch and trunk when compiling R without optimizations and with it's own version of pcre located in src/extra, at least on ubuntu 10.04. According to the pcre_exec API (I presume the later versions), the ovecsize argument must be a multiple of 3 ,

Hi. Using Rterm v2.2.1 on WinXP, is there a way to interrupt a call like repeat { readline() } without killing the Command window? Ctrl+C is not interrupting the loop: R : Copyright 2006, The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Version 2.2.1 Patched (2006-01-01 r36947) <snip></snip> > repeat { readline() } ^C ^C ^C ^C On Unix it works. The problem seems to get the

Hi, I have installed openSUSE 10.2 (i586) and Wine 1.1.16. I am able to run the VB exe in SUSE and it connect to Sql server. In the VB application I have set Cntrl+F6 key to load another form. But any key combination with Cntrl key doesn't fire. Do I have to disable this Cntrl key combination in SUSE or Wine? Thanks

The answer to my question was contained in http://cran.r-project.org/contrib/extra/winedt/ReadMe , although it helped to receive the restatements that were emailed to me. As mentioned by Uwe Ligges, Renuad Lancelot, Niels Waller, my mistake was not starting R before using R-WindEdt. Below I will copy the instructions on using R-WinEdt by Renaud Lancelot (except for the last paragraph which is

a) How can I set the recording of all windows()-history forever to "true"? I want something like windows(record = TRUE) but not just for the window that opens then, but for all windows I will open ever. b) Scrolling up in RGui (windows 2000) to see past commands is nice, but: Is it possible to type eg "wi" and the "arrow up" and see the last command that started with

Full_Name: Byron Ellis Version: 1.2.3 OS: Windows 2000 Server Submission from: (NULL) (140.247.105.95) In Rgui when attempting to resize the console the system locks for a second (cursor locks up, etc) and then either returns to normal for a second before crashing or just crashes when we start moving again (the former happens more often when making things bigger, the latter when the console is

Something seems to have changed with the debugger option since I used it last, unless I've forgotten something really stupid (much more likely) .

Dear R Help, I've just installed 1.7.1 and have found that the console now exhibits odd behavior when I paste commands into it. I'm on a PC running Windows XP Professional. I use Word as my script editor, and then paste commands into the R console using the standard Windows "copy" within Word then "paste" within Rgui. This worked without a hitch in 1.7.0, but now in

In MDI mode of Windows, is it possible to save window size and other parameter settings of a graphics device when it is activated, much like Rconsole file? By default the bottom part of a graphic device (windows()) is too big such that it is hidden under the horizontal scrolling and status bar of Rgui. (Of course I can use the vertical scrolling bar of Rgui to see the hidden part.) So I select

Folks: Winnt; R1.7.0 (freshly installed) running under Rgui.exe.,MDI=yes. The following is repeatable: On startup, in my Rprofile.site file, I use winMenuAdd() etc. to install some user menus. However, they do not appear when R GUI window opens. If I minimize and restore the window, the added menus now are present. The exact same procedure under 1.6.2 with exactly the same Rprofile.site and
