similar to: R console history v/s unix history

I'm using R on Windows XP Professional SP2. I figured out the fix for my buffer overflow problem that did not allow me to use Rgui.exe for about two weeks. I would keep getting "console not found" and even when I uninstalled and re-installed got the same problem. Here's how the problem started. In Rgui.exe, I attempted to get more visible output in the buffer (I wanted

Full_Name: David Lennartsson Version: 1.7.1, 1.8.0 OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (62.119.45.80) A very minor bug, but here it comes. On doing something as simple as cat("1st test string\r2nd\n") the console in RGui on Windows do not perform a CR on '\r'. This is very annoying if you for example want to have a simple progress meter when running a batch job. It works

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

I played around with memory limits in R 2.1.0 under XP in order to be able to work with large matrixes (3600x4100). Among several things I tried was to alter console settings and saving them. Since then, I can't restart Rgui. It says several times 'Console not found' with pieces of the text that usually appears in the console and then crashes. Rterm.exe works fine. I've now

I'm facing this problem on R GUI version 2.10.0 on Windows Vista. I have not changed Windows settings or R GUI settings much except to change from MDI to SDI. Someone else reported this problem a few months ago: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2009-April/195714.html but it wasn't followed up. I'd change the settings on Preferences, but there's no help explaining the

Hello! Ever since I used R on Windows (RGui) I am missing the ability to search the command history (Cntrl+R (reverse-search-history) in BASH, for example). Is there a particular reason for having this function disabled? Another feature would be word-wise delete (kill-word, backward-kill-word). Probably being able to use the Alt-key as Meta key for readline (instead of activating menu entries)

Hello Users: I'm using R version 2.0.1, and having problems with RODBC. Everything works fine when I use Rgui, but when I try to use Rterm and issue the commands library(RODBC) con <- odbcConnect("MySQL", "test") I get the following error: Error in sqlQuery(con, str) : first argument is not an open RODBC channel In addition: Warning messages:

I would like the R console to wrap lines at 80 cols. It does not do so, even though I have used the Rgui Configuration Editor to set the Console cols at 80 and the Pager cols at 80. Please tell me how to set it up so I have word wrap. Just to be clear: in older/other R versions, console input is wrapped at 80 cols and so you have something that looks like > blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Dear developers, I have come across a (somewhat strange) change in the encoding of Sweave output from R-2.9.2pat to R-2.10.0beta (apparently specific to Rgui) on Windows installations. Of course, the NEWS file contains quite a few changes concerning encoding, but I was not able to locate an entry which explains the observed behaviour. I am not very familiar with encodings/locales/codepages,

Hi I have written a graphical user interface using tcltk. Now I would like to run it under rterm.exe with a batch file. I tried the following code written in a .bat file: d:\R\rw1071\bin\Rterm.exe --no-restore --no-save <d:\RGui.r> d:\RGui.out The problem is that rterm does open but the gui isn't running properly. After a few seconds rterm is closeing without doing anything more

Hi, i would like to find out more on how Rgui works. Is there any documentation that details how RGui interfaces with the R language & environment. So, i would like to know things such as: - What language is RGui built in (source available?) - What language is RTerm built in? - how does the output of an R command get directed to the terminal window in RGui? It seems to me that RGui is RTerm

Hi, Main objective: Let Rgui find my ~/.Rprofile and ~/.Renviron files, where ~ is equal to getwd("~"). I have few comments/questions: (A) On my WinXP Pro installation, the system environment variable 'HOME' is not availble to R, e.g. Sys.getenv("HOME") is empty. I believe this is default case (correct me if I'm wrong). However, if I set the "Start

Hi, and thanks in advance for your time. Background - I am working on a package and wish to have a routine's progress reported. The routine can take some time, and I would like to inform the user about the routine's progress. I have scoured the archives but to no avail, so would like to solicit input from this list. I am successfully using cat("\rBootstrap replication ", i,

Hello everyone, I am new to R and I have experienced some bugs when using Rterm on Windows.

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

Is it possible to use the console from within tcltk? > library(tcltk) > tcl("puts", "stdout", "Hello, World") Error in structure(.External("dotTclObjv", objv, PACKAGE = "tcltk"), class = "tclObj") : [tcl] can not find channel named "stdout". > .Tcl('puts stdout "Hello, World"') Error in

I am new to R (and S) and I hope someone on the list can help me out. I find the following behaviour surprising, is it a bug or a feature? (looks like a bug to me) R Version 1.1.0, Windows (x86, Win32) June 15, 2000 OS Windows 95 cat.test <- function(){ summary(c(1:20)) cat("test\n") } summary produces no output, just "test" appears on RGUI's

FYI, via a bug report of one of my packages, I discovered that the following cases will hang Rterm when using TAB completion: CASE #1: Adding an empty default function for tail() causes Rterm on Windows to hang if one press TAB at the prompt: % Rterm -vanilla > tail.default <- function(...) {} > [PRESS TAB] Error in specialOpLocs(text) : (list) object cannot be coerced to type

Hi, all, Using RGui, is it possible to create a graphics window that can be moved outside of the RGui window? (This can be done--in fact must be done--using Rterm, but I wish to use RGui.) My interest for this is to use two monitors: in "my private monitor" I wish to execute R code in the Rgui window; in "the public monitor" I want the audience to see the results in the
