similar to: Closing binary file connections

Hi, I am making multiple calls to gzfile() via read.table(), e.g. > x <- read.table( gzfile( "xxx.gz" ) ) After i do this many times (I haven't counted, but probably between 50 and 100 times) I get the error message: Error in open.connection(file, "r") : unable to open connection In addition: Warning message: cannot open compressed file 'xxx.gz' however, I

I noticed the following file descriptor leak when I couldn't remove a package unless I shut down the R session that had loaded and used it. The function that triggered the problem printed the output of a call to parse(). Each time one prints a srcref a connection is opened and not closed. It looks like it happens in as.character.srcref's call to getSrcLines, which has some logic I

I'm trying to figure out how to get out of this situation: > source('monit.r') Error in file(file, "r") : All connections are in use > showConnections() description class mode text isopen can read can write > help.search('connection') Error in file(file, "r") : All connections are in use > q() Save workspace image? [y/n/c]: y Error

This may be more of an OS question ... I have this call r = get.hist.quote(symbol, start= format(start, "%Y-%m-%d"), end= format(end, "%Y-%m-%d")) which does a url request in a loop and my program runs out of file handlers after few hundred rotations. The error message is: 'Too many open files'. Other than increasing the file handlers assigned to my process, is there

Yeah, that's often a possible workaround, but since this connection was opened by readLines() internally, I don't necessarily know which one it is. E.g. I might open multiple

Consider this code. This is R 3.4.2, but based on a quick look at the NEWS, this has not been fixed. tryCatch( readLines(tempfile(), warn = FALSE)[1], error = function(e) NA, warning = function(w) NA ) rm(list=ls(all.names = TRUE)) gc() showConnections(all = TRUE) If you run it, you'll get a connection you cannot close(), i.e. the last showConnections() call prints: ?

SUMMARY: I'm proposing that R assert that 'connection' options have not changed since first created such that R will produce the following error: > fh <- file("a.txt", open = "w+") > cat("hello\n", file = fh) > close(fh) > fh2 <- file("b.txt", open = "w+") > cat("world\n", file = fh2) >

Hi all, in the last time I've intensively used Rstreams to read and write from binary files. Now I'm wondering if it is possible to use Rsteams functions with gzipped files. But I haven't found the trick: > p1c.gzip <- gzfile("daten/p1c_all.mea.gz", open="rb") > readBin(p1c.gzip, integer(), n=64,size=2) [1] 84 1 400 1 749 0 0 0

As far as I can tell, 'isOpen' cannot return FALSE in the case when 'rw = ""'. If the connection has already been closed by 'close' or some other function, then isOpen will produce an error. The problem is that when isOpen calls 'getConnection', the connection cannot be found and 'getConnection' produces an error. The check to see if it is

Hi all, I am trying to create a function that will open connections to all files of one type within the working directory. I've got the function to open the connections, but I am having a bugger of a time trying to get these connections named as objects in the workspace. I am at the point where I can do it outside of the function, but not inside, using assign. I'm sure I'm

Thanks for tracking this down. Yeah, I should use suppressWarnings(), you are right. Although, readLines() might throw another warning, e.g. for incomplete last lines, and you don't necessarily want to suppress that. TBH I am not sure why that warning is given: ? con <- file(tempfile()) ? open(con) Error in open.connection(con) : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In

Cran task views seems to be a "once-per-session" process -- the first attempt to access views in a (RGui for Windows) session works, but subsequent attempts fail. There is a noticeably long pause before the failing call returns. Example session with two calls to "available.views" follows, but similar effects have been observed with two calls to "install.views" and

Hello yet again, R People: I was working with Ryacas and yacas last night and all was well. Now this morning, I keep getting the following: > a <- Sym("a") > a Error in summary.connection(x) : invalid connection > When I go to yacas from the command line, it works fine. Any suggestions, please? I'm thinking that a port might be open, but here I have: >

Hello; I am new to R and trying to read a line from socket connection at a time but at the end of script I am getting "closing unused connection" warning. I am not able to understand how to solve this. I want to read a line from socket and then use read.table/scan on that line but it looks like I am opening multiple connections instead of just one. I think I am doing something wrong or

Hello, I'm having a problem in R with repeated use of the "load", "save", and "close" commands. I'm getting an error message that reads, "Too many open files". I'm opening files and closing them (and unlinking them), but when I go through that process 509 times, the program halts and I get this error message: "cannot open the

Hi all, I have newly discovered the power of connections (although just a small part of it, namely the file() connection). It allowed me to process data file with arbitrary number of fields per line, which I was using awk for preprocessing before readling into R. The combination of the connection, readLines() and strsplit() really make the work a lot easier and more organized. Thanks a bundle

Recently on stackoverflow following problem came up : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7103429/all-the-connections-are-in-use-execution-halted/7108799#7108799 A reproducible example: When trying replicate(200,tryCatch(read.table("this.is.no.file"), warning=function(w){print(showConnections());print("warning")})) No connections are shown, but after a number of
