regular expression question
I have strings of the form TICKER.GGG.XXXXXX.dat but GGG is not always three characters so I can't use substr to pull it out of the string. Could someone tell me how to use sub to pull out the GGG but more generally the string between the dot after the R in TICKER and the next dot. I still don't have a very good understanding of regular expressions but I'm trying to get that

regular expression question
can someone show me how to use a regular expression to break the string at the bottom up into its three components : (-0.791,-0.263] (-38,-1.24] (0.96,2.43] I tried to use strplit because of my regexpitis ( it's not curable. i've been to many doctors all over NYC. they tell me there's no cure ) but it doesn't work because there also dots inside the brackets. Thanks.

perl expression question
If I have the string below. does someone know a regular expression to just get the "BLC.NYSE". I bought the O'Reilley book and read it when I can and I study the solutions on the list but I'm still not self sufficient with these things. Thanks. stock<-"/opt/limsrv/mark/research/equity/projects/testDL/stock_data/fhdb/US/BLC.NYSE"

close but no cigar
Hi Everyone: It turns out that there's still a small ( I hope ) problem. I'm close but that only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades. Here's my problem: When trying to load a package that I am writing, the load is looking for the packageDescription function in the utils package but not finding the utils package. I looked on cran and utils is not there which makes me think that it

still working on building R from source
Hi Everyone: Gavin's been so generous and patient that I figured I'd give him a break and send this snag to the list. When I do get this working, I will send an "How to build R from the tarball " instructions message to this list for posterity's sake ( and myself and anyone else who doesn't know how to build R from the tarball ). So, here's my latest snag: Gavin

A question regarding R scoping
I have a question related to scoping. Suppose we have 2 functions: f1 = function(i){i = 1} f2 = function(n){ i = length(n) f1(i) } In other words, I would like i=1 regardless of n. Is this possible without having f1 in the body of f2? Thanks in advance!

perl expression question
I have a string such as fileName<-"Agg.20.20.20-all-01". All I want to do is pull the "20.20.20" and the "all" as strings. Obviously, they aren't always those values. The "20.20.20" can be "30.30.30" but it's always after the . which is next to the second g in Agg and it's always the same length. The all might not always be

group membership limitations and Linux
Hi all, I was hoping someone here would be willing to clear up some confusion we're having about group membership limits and linux. While trying to use a file server solution in an AD environment using OpenLDAP / sasl / Samba 2.2.x, we ran into the issue that when trying to import/re-create group membership, we reach a limit at 32 groups. It is my understanding that this is a limitation

scatterplot but a little tricky
i have two vectors of numbers x and y and of course i can do the standard scatterplot plot(x,y) and it looks fine. But, I was hoping there was a way to do the scatterplot so that each point plotted is a number where the number represents the index in the dataset. so, if it was x[3] and y[3], then the point would be a 3 or if it was x[4] and y[4], then the point would be a 4 etc. i doubt this is

trying to superimpose a line plot onto a histogram
Hello, I'm trying to superimpose a line plot onto a histogram but I'm not having any luck. I've attached the dataset. What I did was: > hist(data,freq=F) Now I'm trying to superimpose the following points with a line connecting them onto the histogram: x y 100 0.535665393824959 200 0.212744329736556 300 0.0844933242968584 400 0.0335572838043417 500

eval and as.name
I'm sure there is a more general way to ask this question but how do you use the elements of a character vector as names of objects in an expression? For example, say you have: a = c(1,3,5,7) b = c(2,4,6,8) n=c("a","b") and you want to use the names a and b in a function (e.g. sum) sum(eval(as.name(n[1])),eval(as.name(n[2]))) works but what is a simpler way to

strange use of sapply
I've tried and give up. I have a matrix of say 200 columns and 400 rows. For each odd ( or even i suppose if i wanted to )column, I want to know the number of rows in which the value is greater than zero. So, I did sapply(tempMatrix,2,function(x) sum( x > 0 )) this almost works but i don't know how to tell it to only do the odd columns. my guess is , like everything else in R, this

acf Significance
Hi List, I'm trying to calculate the autocorrelation coefficients for a time series using acf at various lags. This is working well, and I can get the coefficients without any trouble. However, I don't seem to be able to obtain the significance of these coefficients from the returned acf object, largely because I don't know where I might find them. It's clear that the acf
