similar to: followup -- deficiencies in readline capability

Hi, Sometimes I need to consult the history of commands that are matching a regex, so I modified the utils::history function for that purpose. I found it useful. I append the code ( I only added the two lines with #**) Romain. history2 <- function (pattern="", max.show = 25, reverse = FALSE, unique = pattern!="", ...) { file1 <- tempfile("Rrawhist")

When I first configured and built R, I did not have the GNU readline library installed on my system, so naturally I got an R without readline capabilities. I then installed the GNU readline library, and again configured and built R. I now have an R with readline capability, but it is a deficient readline capability, providing only one-line editing capability (e.g., CTRL-A, CTRL-E, CTRL-B,

But that doesn't put the result into the history buffer, to be written to a file only later when I savehistory(filename). Bert Gunter also suggested ?capture.output and ?textConnection, but I cannot see how to get text into the history buffer as comments, but with evaluated expressions (values). I know how to use paste, sink, write, etc. but nothing that I can see inserts into the history

Dear R users, I have a .RData which contains .Last object as follows: .Last <- function () { savehistory(file = ".Rhistory") } In this directory, if I issue the following command Rterm --save < mycmds.q to execute commands in mycmds.q and to save results in .RData, I got the following error message towards the end of the execution: Error in savehistory(file) :

# # r-bugs@r-project.org # ###################################################### Because I work in different directories, but always want to save my .Rhistory in the same place, I have changed the system function savehistory to this: function (file = "D:/R50/.Rhistory") invisible(.Internal(savehistory(file))) When I use q() to quit R, and it asks me whether I want to

Hello, The history function doesn't seems to work when I am working with R. I have a .Rhistory file in my working directory and I have tried savehistory(file = ".Rhistory") or the command given in the history help : .Last <- function() if(interactive()) try(savehistory(".Rhistory")) and I get the same error message Error in

Thanks-- as Duncan Murdoch also noted, R_HISTFILE can be used to solve my problem, as below. BTW it's not easy to find out about R_HISTFILE in the help system or manuals, though, unless you already know it exists-- it only seems to be described under startup options, not things to do with history. However, Duncan's reply did hint at an inconsistency, in that savehistory() defaults to

Hi, I run the following command and try to save the commands that have been run in the script. But it seems that no history is recorded. Is it because that the history is not recorded in Rscript?

Running Version 2.6.0 GUI 1.21. Generally, I enjoy working with the OSX GUI, which has some very pleasant features. Kudos to the developers! There is a nice history panel which slides out of the Console window. The buttons on the panel work as expected. I am puzzled by the behavior of history() and savehistory() run from the Console window. I would think that these functions would view and

History files saved using nFile Save History do not open when using File Load History. I notice that when they are saved they do not seem to have a file extension and there is no option to chose an extension. Is this a problem. Other than this it seems so simple that I can't see what the problem is. I've tried using loadhistory and savehistory with the same problems. The syntax guide

Dear R-Helpers, I'm fiddling with my .Rprofile in Windows XP & R 2.7.0 Beta. I prefer to manually save my workspace but automatically save my command history via the .Rprofile. That is working fine once I found that "utils::" was required before the loadhistory & savehistory functions. What I would like to do is add a separator line with a date between the histories of each

Hi, > history() gives Error in savehistory(file) : no history available to save although I can scroll throu history with C^uparrow an C^downarrow. How can I make history() work and/or show the current history in a file, so that I can choose from previous commands? The web did not throw up anything useful. TIA --Christian -- Christian W.

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

savehistory writes all the executed lines from the session. How can I write everything (executed lines and output) from the active session to a file? Using Edit | Select All then Edit Copy, I can copy everything to the clipboard and write the whole thing to a file manually. If I just used the clipboard, I can paste the whole content into another edittor (for documentation). Is there a way to

Consider all the text that one sees on the console during an R session. Is there a way, within R, to make all this text--both the "output" and the "messages"--automatically get copied to a single text file, in addition to seeing it on the console? If I remember to save the console to a file at the end of my R session, that does it. But (1) That requires pointing and

Hello, I am trying to compile an rpm of samba 4.7.1 on centos 7. I have everything compiling but the problem is when I go to install the rpms, yum complains that samba-python requires libdnsserver-common-samba4.so. That file is part of samba-dc-libs which I believe doesn't work on centos 7 due to incompatibility with mit-kerberos. Does anyone know if there is a way to build this file without

I have compiled R under Solaris 7 (SunOS 5.7) with the readline-4.0 library linked. Command line editing appears to work, but I cannot access command history. If I execute several commands in R, then type "history()", I get the error message "Error in savehistory(file) : no history available to save". Also, previous command recall (C-p) does not seem to work. I am invoking

Hi all, I tried to save a complete log of a R session we had in a seminar today... but I didn't succeed. 1) R | tee session.log This saves both input and output, but I do get the cursor key escape sequences from editing (cursor-up to get last command etc) instead of the actual command line executed. 2) savehistory Gets commands only, not the output 3) sink Gets output, without the

I have an environment variable `$R_HISTFILE` pointing to `/home/my.username/.RHistory` and the following code in my `.Rprofile` in my home directory: .Last <- function() { if (!any(commandArgs()=='--no-readline') && interactive()){ require(utils) try(savehistory(Sys.getenv("R_HISTFILE"))) } }
