I've had time to return to the "external editor" project. The following function does almost what I want, which is to allow an external editor to feed command lines to R. ext.editor<-function(editor) { ext.input<-pipe(editor,"r") eval(parse(ext.input)) close(ext.input) } While the description of parse() indicates that it should parse input line by line, the

Hi folks, I use R in X windows on Linux. Normally, I use 'less' as pager, which is fine for scanning through 'help' (or '?') output in the R window itself; the help session is terminated by typing "q", as usual for 'less', and the R window then reverts to the R command line interface. Often, I would like to have the output from 'help' pop up in

Hi, What is the best text editor for programming in R? I am using JEdit as the text editor, however, it does not have anything specific for R. It will be nice to have a developing environment where the keywords are highlighted, plus some other debugging functions. Yi-Xiong [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I am using TINN-R for working with R and for that purpose it is a very handy editor, in particular the R-Explorer that shows the existing objects and their properties is worth money. But I want to move to a more flexible editor (in particular for Latex) and was thinking of WinEdt (or maybe Eclipse, because of Java). I know they have capabilities to work directly with R, but has any other

Hi to all, I initiate in R - Linux and I've some problems to find an editor with R interface as like RWinEdt for WinEdt. Anyone know one? Thanks in advance for your kind cooperation.

Hi all: Newbies (and others!) may find useful the R Reference Card made available by Tom Short of EPRI Solutions at http://www.rpad.org/Rpad/Rpad-refcard.pdf or through the "Contributed" link on CRAN (where some other reference cards are also linked). It categorizes and organizes a bunch of R's basic, most used functions so that they can be easily found. For example,

I tried to install the syntax pattern file, R-5.1.pats (obtained from www.nedit.org) in version 5.3 of nedit, but it gives the following errors. Does anyone have a more up-to-date copy? euclid: ~/nedit % nedit -import R-5.1.pats NEdit: language mode must be specified in highlight pattern: <== NEdit: style name required in style specification: Note:darkRed:Italic <== NEdit: expecting

Hi I've just submitted to the NEdit development team a R highligth patterns for NEdit (www.nedit.org). NEdit is a text editor for LINUX which I use to write small R functions. In my opinion is a very good tool for small scripts, maybe for huge projects is not the best. I'm attaching the R-5.1.pats file so you can try it. As usual contributions and comments are welcome.

Hello! Disapointed about SPSS I have to choose another statistic program. And altough I sympathise with the idea of a non-commercial software-project like R and I like the spirit of the R community (and of course I am not keen on paying 150$ to SAS for a one-year students license), I will probably buy SAS, because people I will work with use SAS and I want a close cooperation with them. Besides I

Dear all, (Sorry if the question has already been answered.) Could someone please suggest a good text editor for writing R sources ? (I know emacs exists ... but I find it a bit heavy). I use crimson (http://www.crimsoneditor.com) which is small and simple, but the R syntax seems not to be supported. Thanks for any advice

All, I am trying to use a named pipe to steer R from an external application. Following the examples in RNEWS 1:1, I have created a simple listener: zz <- fifo("TESTFIFO", "r") repeat { a <- readLines(zz) if(length(a) != 0) { e <- try(eval(parse(text = a))) if (inherits(e,

Dear All; I have used Winedt editor in conjunction with R on the Win2K platform for more than a year without any problem. Recently I purchased a P4 machine with Windows XP. Following the installation of R1.62 and WinEdt 5.3 to separate directories, I copied R-WinEdt to the Plugins subdirectory under the Winedt directory, clicked on the "install" file and edited the Rprofile with two

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

Hello: I installed R-WinEdit according to the instructions, including those for setting the editor and pager options. Doesn''t seem to work--when I try to edit a file, I get the following: > > options(editor="\"c:/program files/winedt/winedt\" -c=\"R-WinEdt-edit\" > -e=r.ini -V") > > getOption("editor") >[1]

I'm having difficulty installing RWinEdt in WinEdt6. I receive the following message: Error : .onAttach failed in attachNamespace() for 'RWinEdt', details: call: getWinEdt() error: WinEdt is not installed properly.

Hello Everyone I have just upgraded my PC to Windows 7 (64 bit) and I have installed R 2.12.2. R seems to be working fine. I am having problems getting RWinEdt working with it though. I have tried installing WinEdt 6.0 and WinEdt 5.5. But both fail with the same error using R as 64 bit or 32 bit. I install the package using Administrator rights. > library(RWinEdt) Warning message: In

Dear Listers, I have just installed R-2.6.0 and the RWinEdt package 1.7-6 under Windows XP. The R-WinEdt menu well appears at launching (the command library(RWinEdt) is in .Rprofile), but WinEdt is NOT started automatically (this was not the case in the earlier versions of R). When WinEdt is started by hand (eg double-click on a RWinEdt alias after R launching), syntax highlighting and

Hello, I've done most all the various steps outlined in a recent posting to the mailing list archives (and in the help files) to load and run R-WinEdt. I can get it to run fine but I am not successful in getting it to interface with RGui (1.6.2, not minimized). I try to use the R-line, R-source, R-paste buttons with no success.
