similar to: 4 packages for Windows users

Hi List, I am trying to learn something about the exchange facilities between R and Windows Application with the RDCOMClient package from (http://www.omegahat.org/RDCOMClient/) and I have faced 2 problems: 1. I could not follow the link for the binary version of SWinTypeLibs package on the site, (as it has given me a restricted permission message), but I downloaded it by searching it on google

Dear list member, I am using the packages RDCOMClient and SWinTypeLibs and try to import a COM object (created in Delphi) in R that is of type 'early binding' instead of late 'late binding'. Is there a possibility to do this in R? Currently, the following returns an error message: l1 = LoadTypeLib("c:\\Programme\\INVESCO\\QaCalendar\\Calendar.dll")

Hello all Can R be used as a COM client (rather than as a COM server)? The following (Splus) code shows the sort of thing I'd like to do: pMIM <- create.ole.object("mim31.Server") NoOutputLines <- call.ole.method(pMIM, "SendCmdLine", "show w") for (i in 1:NoOutputLines) show(call.ole.method(pMIM, "GetOutputLine")) release.ole.object(pMIM)

I am trying to use the Windows COM interface under R 2.0, and have encountered the following difficulties: - the package RDCOMClient installs, loads and works under R 1.9.1, installs under R2.0, but does not load or work under R2.0 - the package SWinTypeLibs does not install or load under either R 1.9.1 or under R2.0 For the moment I am concentrating on the RDCOMClient package as it seems to

I try to produce and modify shapes in a PowerPoint presentation but run into a difficulty setting a variable. library(RDCOMClient) # load RDCOMClient package library(SWinTypeLibs) # package SWinTypeLibs from Omegahat to access information about COM libraries ppt = COMCreate("PowerPoint.Application") # create a ppt COM ppt[["Visible"]] <- TRUE # set COM

Has anyone managed to get this working? Here's what I did: I got the binary build for R2.0.1 from the Omegahat download page, and made a small change to the registerClassID function ( to make it use the right path to RDCOMServer.dll). Then I tried to replicate the simple TTest example from the same web site. The COM class definition and registration worked fine for me. To test this, I

Hi Everyone, I'm experimenting with the RDCOMServer package under R-2.0.0. I'm not having much success yet - the methods im registering do show up in the registry but I'm not able to call the using RDCOMClient from another package. I'm still attempting to diagnose my problem in other ways, but though I should check to see if there are any problems have been observed by others

Dear r-help, Both 'omega-devel@omegahat.org' and 'duncan@research.bell-labs.com' appear to be bouncing with 'user unknown' so trying r-help ....

There was a user request to announce this new version (1.6-0) of R-WinEdt (actually, the request was to announce version 1.5-1). It is propagating through CRAN these days and (is|will be) available at yourCRANmirror/contrib/extra/winedt/ For those who have not already noticed the changes since R-WinEdt 1.4-x, I'd like to summarize the changes below. The most exciting one is the new

Hi, I?m using R package RDCOMClient (http://www.omegahat.org/RDCOMClient/) to retrieve data from MS Excel workbook. I?m using the code below to count the number of sheets in the workbook and then loop the data from sheets in to a list. ############# R code ################### library(gdata) library(RDCOMClient) xl <- COMCreate("Excel.Application") sh <-

Hi, This may be due to several reasons. That I can think about: 1) Ensure you close *all* possibly open workbooks: nBooks <- xl[["Workbooks"]]$Count(); for (i in seq_len(nBooks)) xl[["Workbooks"]]$item(i)$Close(SaveChanges=FALSE); 2) The excel application reference does not seem to be really released until the garbage collector runs. So this may help: xl$Quit();

I am having trouble using the R2wd package. The last time I used it successfully, I was running an earlier version of R and an earlier version of Word with an earlier Windows OS. I'm not sure which if any of these changes might be contributing to the problem. Right now I'm using R version 2.15.0 (2012-03-30) for Windows MS Word 2010 version 14.0.6112.5000 (32-bit)

I wrote a procedure to create a spreadsheet using rdcomclient. It uses a function to do the writing and runs "correctly" in isolation. It gives errors, but it continues to completion. The error I receive is "Error: Member not found". If I place it inside a for loop the loop fails after the first iteration, once it reaches the error. Has anyone had experience with this

Hello I am using Duncan Lang's RDCOM Client package (available on omegahat.org) under R 1.7.0 and Windows XP Pro. Is this the right forum for questions about this package? In case it is, here is my question: Instances of COM objects do not seem to terminate as expected, but leave residual processes running. For example, if I try the simple example: E <-

We have finally configured the R-Java interface as a `regular' R package. This allows R users to create arbitrary Java objects and call any accessible method. It has a reasonably sophisticated mechanism for handling transferring of arguments from R to Java and vice-versa, and allows Java classes to be implemented via R functions. The package and all the documentation is available from

Dear R-list subscriber, is it possible that the omegahat-site is down? I was looking for package 'RDCOMClient', but could not establish a connection. In case somebody has the latest binary zip-file for Windows, would she/he mind to send it directly to my emaim adress stated in the signature? Many thanks, and sorry for bothering/misusing R-help in this instance. Best, Bernhard Dr.

Thanks for your help Duncan. Your last comment helped me to figure out what FreeBSD was doing differently than Linux/Solaris. This fix worked on a machine with Python 2.1, R 1.3.1 and FreeBSD 4.1. Here are the details: The pthreads fix: I added '-lc_r' to the PKG_LIBS definition in src/Makevars.in. The FreeBSD 'man pthread' page suggests that adding -pthread to the gcc statement
