similar to: [ESS] Re: R commandline editor question

Do any of you know any simple programming editors for R scripts which offer basic colour-coding and bracket-matching facilities? Dregging through scripts to find a missing comma or parentheses is something I'd rather do less of... Jon Minton [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I am using R 2.1 on Apple OS X. When I get the ">" prompt, I find it works well with emacs commandline editing. Keys like M-f C-k etc. work fine. The one thing that I really yearn for, which is missing, is bracket matching When I am doing something which ends in )))) it is really useful to have emacs or vi-style bracket matching, so as to be able to visually keep track of whether I

Hello everyone, Hope it is the good place for this (I discuss the question of the right place below). Most of the time, warnings are more than 1000 characters long and thus are truncated. Most of the time, this generates printouts with unbalanced parentheses. Intelligent text editors which do parentheses highlighting get very confused with this. After too many warnings, they give errors, and

Dear ESS users, {BCC'ed to RPM and Debian maintainers of ESS} We have now released ESS 5.2.7. This is a bug fix release against 5.2.6 where - the new UTF-8 "support" gave problems for Xemacs, and - accidentally, 'auto-fill-mode' was activated for *.R buffers with a few new features, see "New Features" below , notably some extended Sweave supported,

I repeat my emails of 11/15/01 and 2/26/02, since it looks like this ESS bug is still not fixed in ESS 5.1.23, and I think some resolution is needed. When help() is invoked, ESS makes a copy of .Last.value in the .GlobalEnv, which is *not* where R normally stores it (R stores it in package:base). When this copy becomes stale it leads to wrong answers. The bug is in essd-r.el, lines 63-64:

This question is not oriented towards R, but is posted here because I have the impression that there are at least some Latex users among the contributors. The question is: What editors for Latex are to be recommended? I have located one: http://www.latexeditor.org/ What other alternatives are there? I am (for the most part) using Windows XP. Tom

I can't imagine using Windows without Emacs. In particular, the Windows ports of Emacs are very aware of the operating system and usually make the right assumptions. The type of behavior you are noticing can probably be cured by typing C-g in the *R* buffer in emacs. The most likely cause is that the R process in Emacs is waiting for the plot to finish and is querying the plotting device.

This code worked fine for me, then did some cleaning up of formatting using ESS (Emacs) and now I get this error, no idea what is causing it, all the brackets/parentheses seem to be balanced.

Hi The best is definitively (X)Emacs (my opinion). For Windows have a look at (GNU Emacs): http://www.math.auc.dk/~dethlef/Tips/introduction.html And for XEmacs with Cygwin (XEmacs, Latex, ..., for Ess simple save (require 'ess-site) in your init.el): http://home.imf.au.dk/hellmund/indhold.html For native Xemacs for Windows: www.xemacs.org Xemacs is easy to install, use and configure

Dear list, I am importing data consisting of numbers into dataframes. Some of the numbers are flanked by parentheses or square brackets. Thus, they are not recognized as numeric and the corresponding column is of class "factor" which makes it hard/impossible use in plotting functions. Is there a way to remove brackets from numbers in a column/row/dataframe? Kind regards, Stefan --

If there's a separate ESS user mail list, please point me to it. I'm using emacs with ESS and want to enter multiline commands for plots. Examples in my reference books show each line terminating with a comma so labels and other attributes can be specified for the plot before it is submitted for rendering. When I try to do this, however, I get an error: > boxplot(chemdata$quant ~

Hi all, I am running R 2.0.1 under Windows XP in German. I configured my path as follows: C:\Programme\R\rw2001\bin;C:\Programme\xemacs-packages\lib-src\;C:\Programme\XEmacs-21.4.13\i586-pc-win32 I can not start R proccess or ESS from within XEmacs.

After the discussions about appropriate editors under Windows to use with R, I have managed to install Emacs, XEmacs, and ESS under WinNT 4.0, and these work fine. It's not necessary to compile anything to use R with ESS, just to install Emacs and ESS, and do a few modifications in some files. XEmacs is also easy to install but apparently ESS cannot run with it (confirmed by a message by Tony

Fedora Linux 8 R 2.6.1 Intel CPU I am trying to get started with R under Linux. It has been suggested to me that I run R under EMACS. I have looked at the CRAN website, and several other places to try to find an RPM for EMACS and, if I need it for ESS. I have not succeeded in finding one. Can someone tell me where to go to get the RPMs? If anyone would have a suggestion for an editor other than

Dear R-help, Apologies if this isn't exactly the right place for this question. I am trying to run R in emacs using ESS. I have done this successfully many times - it works right now on my home computer in windows 7 and in ubuntu. The problem is that when I start emacs the regular splash screen doesn't show. In the mini-buffer I get the message "Finding all versions of R on your

On RedHat linux 7.2, I upgraded (?) Emacs and R at the same time and now I'm getting some funny business with R and ESS. I reinstalled ESS from the tarball and re-byte-compiled. In particular, help.start() does work, and ESS works to send text regions to the R process, but ?function does not return anything, and the status line says "ESS process not ready. Finish your command
