The Date class is intended to

For years I used Deducer (Package Deducer) developed by Ian Fellows.? This is still available and partially remains mostly functional.? He was working on a new GUI years ago but appears no longer to be in the pipeline I think replaced by R-Studio. > Send R-help mailing list submissions to > r-help at r-project.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit >

Colleagues R 2.10.1 on a Mac I read in textfiles using readLines, then I process those files, then I use R to execute another program. Occasionally those files contain characters other than letter / numbers / routine punctuation marks. For example, a bullet (option-8 on a Mac) triggers the problem. Although R can read and process those characters, the other program cannot so I would like to

R 2.12.2 Windows 7 Colleagues, I just took advantage of the function: readWindowsShortcut in R.utils. It accomplished my goals and I was interested in learning its inner workings. So, I typed the function at the command line (without arguments or parentheses). R returned: function (...) UseMethod("readWindowsShortcut") <environment: namespace:R.utils> providing no

Colleagues R: 2.12.2 OS X I have a set of text objects in the form (I am showing 3 of what is more likely to be 20 or so): OBJECTS <- c("abcSOMETHINGCOMMONegf", "xSOMETHINGCOMMONyz", "SOMETHINGCOMMONnme") As you can see, all contain "SOMETHINGCOMMON" and the position varies. But, I don't know what that "SOMETHINGCOMMON" is. Is there an

Colleagues, What is the easiest means to embed a: ? (registered) or ? (trademark) sign in text in a graphic. I would like to use mtext and avoid plotmath, if possible. Ideally, the sign should be superscripted but I can easily sacrifice that. Optimally, I need a solution that works in both OS X and Windows (? XP) and with R versions ? 2.11 Thanks in advance.

Colleagues I am executing a length script in R (20K lines). At one point, it returns: > Loading required package: tcltk > Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done > Loading required package: Hmisc > Loading required package: survival > Loading required package: stats > Loading required package: graphics > Loading required package: splines > Attaching package: 'Hmisc'

Colleagues, I am using R (2.9.2, all platforms) to search for a complicated text string using regular expressions. I would appreciate any help you can provide. The string consists of the following elements: SOMEWORDWITHNOSPACES any number of spaces and/or tabs ( any number of spaces and/or tabs integer any number of spaces and/or tabs ) Examples include: WORD ( 123 ) WORD(1 )

Colleagues OS 10.5 R: 2.10.1 I have a simple x-y plot for which I would like to shade the lower (or upper) part of the interior region (i.e., the area bounded by the axes). If the delineation between top and bottom were linear, it would be use to use the polygon function. However, the delineation is a curve (which I can describe by an equation). In theory, I could divide the x-axis into a

Colleagues, I am trying to understand how R (2.12.1) obtains the PATH environment variable in Windows (7 or Vista). Startup {base} directs one to: "R_ENVIRON" -- which equals "" in my systems R_HOME/etc/Renviron.site -- which does not exist Next, it directs to: R_HOME/etc/Rprofile.site -- which also does not exist (the expected behavior in a "factory-fresh"

Colleagues Assume that I have a vector containing some text strings, some of which contain a particular character. I could like to apply "toupper" to the text before the character. For example (in this case, "|" is the particular character): ORIGINAL: TEXT <- c("aaaa", "bbb|cc", "|ddd") AFTER APPLICATION OF toupper: TEXT <-

R 2.15.1 OS X.7.4 Colleagues, I have a large dataset (27773536 records, the file is several GB) that contains a column of date / time entries in the format: "2/1/2011 13:25:01" I need to convert these to numeric values (ideally in seconds; the origin [e.g., 1970-01-01] is not important). I am using: as.numeric(strptime(DATA$DATADTM, "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S")) It takes 21

Mark Thanks for pointing this out. I did a default installation of R. Does this mean that I need to reinstall from the command line?

Colleagues, [R 2.11; OS X] I am processing a file on the fly that contains the following text: XXX?? [email clients may display this differently -- the string is three X's followed by two instances of the letter a with an acute accent] I read the file with: X <- readLines(FILENAME) In this instance, the text of interest is on line 213. When I examine line 213, it reads: XXX\xe1\xe1

Colleagues I am learning lattice graphics (R 2.12.2; OS X). Several days ago, I inquired about adding margin text to lattice graphics. Jim Price offered a useful reply, suggesting that I add: page = function(page) grid.text('words', x = 0.5, y = 0.01) to my call to the function. The entire function that he suggested was; xyplot(1 ~ 1, par.settings = list(layout.heights =

Luke Thanks ? I revised the code to: ERRORMESSAGE <- try(source(USERSCRIPTFILE, local=T), silent=T) print(ERRORMESSAGE) now returns: $value [1] 0 $visible [1] FALSE Not clear what to make of that.

Colleagues, I am using R to assemble RTF documents (which are plain text). I need to embed a JPEG graphic that was created with R. I presume that the steps need to be: a. read the file into R b. convert the object to HEX format c. write the converted object to a textfile. If I read the file into R using readLines, I get the following (only the first 5 lines shown): > >

Colleagues, I am trying to create a PDF document in which I use margin text with two different fonts. The resulting text might be: XXXXXyZZZ where X and Z are one font and Y is the other. My plan was to do this in the following manner: mtext("XXXXX ZZZ", cex=2, adj=0.5, family=SOMEFONT) mtext("Y", cex=2, adj=??, family=DIFFERENTFONT) My question regards how to calculate

Colleagues, R 2.9.0 on all platforms I have a dataset that contains three columns of interest: ID's, serial elapsed times, and a marker. Representative data: Subject Time Marker 1 100.5 0 1 101 0 1 102 1 1 103 0 1 105 0 For each subject, I would like to find the time associated with MARKER == 1, then replace Time with Time - (Time[Marker == 1]) The result for this
