Calling R from R and specifying "wait until script is finished"
Hello,
Let's say I have 50 R scripts to run. What would be the most efficient way
to run them?
I thought I could do multiple Rterms in a DOS batch file:
Ex:
Rterm <1.R> 1.txt
Rterm <2.R> 2.txt
...
Rterm <50.R> 50.txt
However, I'm afraid they will all open at the same time. I know I could
pause the batch file with something like:
PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 60000

Arranging Plots
Dear all,
I'd appreciate any hints how to arrange some plots.
I have three plots. I would like to arrange them in the following order:
- Plot 1 and Plot 2 should be in the upper row
- Plot 3 should be in the lower row but centered in the middle.
I hope the following sketch will help understanding my problem

Plot: Distance between tick and tick label on y-axis
Hello,
I want to reduce the distance between my ticks and their labels. I managed
to do it for the x-axis, but the y-axis puzzles me. Here's an example where
there is no space between the x-asix ticks and labels.
par(las=1)
plot(runif(50), type="l",xaxt="n",yaxt="n",ylab="", bty="l")
axis(2)
axis(1,padj=-1.5)
#However,

Useful tip: Use Google to find R scripts
Hello,
Ever wondered how people use a particular function in their programs? Use
Google to find actual scripts:
filetype:R boxplot
will return real R scripts using the boxplot function.

RODBC question: problem importing series with blank cells
Hello,
I have an excel file that I load through RODBC. Some of my columns are
blank. They are equity time series and the stocks did not exist at the
earlier dates. My problem is that the whole column becomes <NA> even though
there are numbers at later dates.

Change the language of the labels in a graph
Hello,
How do you change the language of the labels in a graph. In this example, I
want to get French labels by changing Sys.putenv. I should get "Mai"
instead of "May".
Sys.putenv(LANGUAGE="fr")
x <- as.Date(c("1jan1960", "2jan1960", "31mar1960", "30jul1960"), "%d%b%Y")

How would you export a 3-dimensional array to an SQL database?
Hello,
How would you export a 3-dimensional array to an SQL database?
a<-array(1:24, 2:4)
Is there an open source DB that would be more adequate for this type of
operation?
Is there a way to reshape/flatten a 3-dimensional array?

Multi-line paste function
Here's my contribution to R.
When R interacts with external programs (MySQL, cURL, etc.), it often
requires a pasted string that is sent to these programs. For readability
reasons, it is often preferable to have complex commands (SQL for example)
spread on several lines. However, the normal paste function requires to add
additional ' ", ' at the end of each line and another '

Solve for x in Ax=B with vectors, not matrices

What I have: I am working with vectors not matrice:
#Basic equations
A <-c(-20,-9,-2)

# R matrix multiplication works with vectors
A%*%x==B # Is true...
Question: If x is unknown and A and B are known, how do I solve for x in R?
solve(A,B) won't work because A is not a square matrix

Batch mode problem: figure margins too large (code corrected for word wrap)
First of all, I apologize for the triple post, but I did not see that the
word wrap on the r-help list site would render my code unusable. So here it
is again. Hoping that this time it will work if you cut and paste it in
your Rgui.
I have a program that works well in Rgui but that does not work in a batch
file (Execution halted).
