Colleagues, I am using R 2.4.0 on both a Mac (10.4.8) and Linux (RedHat 9). To read data from an Excel spreadsheet, I do "save as" in Excel, then select the "Text (tab-delimited)" format. The resulting file uses a tab separator and I can usually read the file using read.delim. Sometimes, the header row contains embedded carriage returns. When I view the file,

Hi, I'm hoping someone has a suggestion for handling a simple problem. A client gave me a comma separated value file (call it x.csv) that has an id and name and address for about 25,000 people (25,000 records). I used read.table to read it, but then discovered that there are stray carriage returns on several records. This plays havoc with read.table since it starts a

From: Christian Hesse <mail at eworm.de> Logging to stderr results in line endings being terminated with carriage return (\r) and new line (\n). While this is fine for terminals it may have undesired effects when running from crond and logging to syslog or similar. I run ssh from cron on an recent linux host. Viewing logs with journalctl I see: Sep 06 16:50:01 linux CROND[152575]: [96B

Guys, Dovecot 1.0.15 [1], just built the latest antispam-plugin 1.2 (tarball) for testing, mailtrain backend for SA integration. Both built from custom spec files. The mail that is being trained is different than its respective source in the mbox file. The trained one shows added, trailing carriage-return chars for all headers, which are not in the headers in the mbox file. This breaks sa-learn

Having problems with the write.table function. I can write a tab delimited file just fine, but for each line in my matrix its inputs a carriage return when i dont want it to. For example my matrix might be: ID V1 V2 V3 FARY1004 1 2 3 FARY2067 2 3 1 FARY4587 2 2 2 And I want the written File to be: FARY1004 1 2 3FARY2067 2 3 1FARY4587 2 2 2 TIA -- View this

Dear all, I have a code chunk in my Rnw file that, when executed, outputs carriage return characters ('\r') to inform on the progress (e.g. "sweep 4 of 1024\r"). But Sweave interprets this as a newline character, and therefore I get countless pages of output in my vignette where I only really want one line. Any ideas? Thanks E

It seems like I must be missing something since I haven't been able to find mention of this. Under Windows 7 I'm not getting carriage returns in the output of BATCH files using 2.15.0 (both 64-bit and 32-bit). They are in the startup messages, but not for the real output. Is this on purpose?

I have a comma separated data file with no carriage returns and what I'd like to do is 1. read the data as a block text 2. search for the string that starts each record "record_start", and replace this with a carriage return. Replace will do, or just add a carriage return before it. The string is the same for each record, but it is enclosed in double quote marks in the file.

If I save a dataframe with a character-typed last column to a relational database with dbWriteTable, the values in the last column of the resulting table in the database will have a '\r' (carriage return) appended. If I read back the dataframe with dbReadTable the last column in the resulting dataframe has also '\r' appended (see protocol below). Setting or unsetting sql-mode

I apologize in advance if I'm wasting bandwidth with a simple question, but I was unable to find a solution for this problem in the documentation... I've got a set of shares set up on a SUN Enterprise 5500 using Samba 2.0.4. In Windows NT, I map a drive to the share. When I copy a text file from Windows NT to the SUN, editing the file in UNIX shows that ^M has been added to the end of

Hi all, I imported a file (in CSV format) into R for processing, then imported the result into MySQL. However, there are *carriage return* characters (hexadecimal: *0D*) that are appended to the characters in the last field of the table. i.e *\r* appended to the character values (as shown below) Before importing into MySQL: asdf After importing into MySQL: asdf*\r* ** ** Are there any options

Hi, and thanks in advance for your time. Background - I am working on a package and wish to have a routine's progress reported. The routine can take some time, and I would like to inform the user about the routine's progress. I have scoured the archives but to no avail, so would like to solicit input from this list. I am successfully using cat("\rBootstrap replication ", i,

Hi, jslint doesn''t seem to like the carriage returns in the mapstraction files. Is there a way around this? I didn''t see an option for it. -Mike

I have a number of perl CGI scripts which I wrote some time ago (and which are working successfully on my website). I've set up a local server on which to do some development work on the scripts but I can't get them to work - the error log says: No such file or directory: exec of '/var/www/cgi-bin/script.cgi' failed Premature end of script headers: script.cgi etc By comparing

With a has_one/belongs_to relationship, what''s the best way to guarantee that the belongs_to object gets created and is accessible alongside the has_one object? I *think* the after_create callback is a good choice, but I discovered an oddity while trying it. F''rinstance, if every horse has a carriage: ============ ActiveRecord::Schema.define do create_table(:horses) {|t|

I am having an interesting problem. I have a Postgres database with a table containing a text field. In the text field is stored data that in some cases has a ''*'' and a newline return as the first line first few characters followed by several other lines. The strange part is when a record is written the data looks correct, however, when the record is read all line feed and

Quick question - if i want to separate a long string of text, separated by single carriage returns, into an array of paragraphs, I can use the following code: paragraphs = article.content.split("\n") The "\n" means a carriage return, as far as I can tell. If I wanted to take text, that had been written using the more common double carriage returns, into an array of

Hi, I was trying to get Google Calendar to import a gem-generated file with no luck (it kept giving me the unhelpful message "parse error," even though http://severinghaus.org/projects/icv/ accepted the file as valid). After a bunch of screwing around, I changed line 148 of component.rb to include a .gsub("\r", "\\r"), which fixed the problem. It seems like line

Hi All, I've been developing all sorts of applications for use on our 79xx handsets but am having great difficulty with formatting, I just can't seem to be able to produce a line feed between lines on the stuff actually displayed on the phone. Has anyone else has experience or success with this ? Cheers, Adam ********* DISCLAIMER ********* This message and any attachment are

Hi, I discovered when using my fuse fs for connecting to a remote host using sftp that the new server version 7.4 sends a greeter which is not according the format desribed in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4253#section-4 There is written that the greeter "MUST be terminated by a single Carriage Return (CR) and a single Line Feed (LF) character (ASCII 13 and 10, respectively)."
