How to print a double quote
Can anyone tell me how to get R to include a double quote in the middle
of a character string?
For example, the following code is close:
> fnd<-"Open fnd 'test'"
> cat(fnd)
Open fnd 'test'>
>
But instead of Open fnd 'test' I need: Open fnd "test". Difference
seems minor, but I am writing batch files for another

using paste and "\" to create a valid filename
Sometimes even the easy stuff is difficult (for me)... I want to get
input from different places to paste together an excel filename (so
you know I'm using windows) that I can open with RODBC. I know about
using double "\" since its an escape character, but I get either 2 or
none, I can't get just one "\" where I need it. See example code
below. I am using R 2.1.0,

Splitting a character vector.
I am lousy at simple regex and I have not found a solution to a simple problem.
I have a vector with some character values that I want to split.
Sample data
dd1 <- c( "XXY (mat harry)","XXY (jim bob)", "CAMP (joe blow)", "ALP (max jack)")
Desired result
dd2 <- data.frame( xx = c("XXY", "XXY", "CAMP",

Escape character for --exclude?
Hi--
Ok. I?ve now run into the next thing I can?t find in man, and this time, I
googled as well:
--exclude /afs/\*
I thought you could just say:
--exclude /afs/* or even --exclude /afs/
To exclude the entire afs directory. Can you explain what the purpose of the
\ and * are here?
Thanks again :)
All My Best,

Help with ddply to eliminate a for..loop
I created a small example to show something that I do a lot of. "scale"
data by month and return a data.frame with the output. "id" represents
repeated observations over "time" and I want to scale the "slope"
variable. The "out" variable shows the output I want. My for..loop
does the job but is probably very slow versus other methods. ddply

FTP download from ftp.sec.gov
All,
I have managed to download files from web sites and ftp sites using R,
so just for fun I tried to do so from the SEC's ftp site using the
following code:
ftp <- "ftp://anonymous:test at ftp.sec.gov/edgar/full-index/company.idx"
download.file(url=ftp, destfile="test.txt")
And it does not work. R says it cannot open the URL. If I paste the ftp

how to use do.call("rbind", get(list(mlist)))
I have around 200 data frames I want to rbind in a vectorized way.
The object names are:
m302
m303
...
m500
So I tried:
mlist <- paste("m",302:500,sep="")
dat <- do.call("rbind", get(list(mlist)))
and I get "Error in get(x, envir, mode, inherits) : invalid first argument"
I know "rbind" is valid because
dat <- rbind(m302, m303,

Is it possible to print a data.frame without the row names?
Is it possible to print a data.frame without the row names? I checked
?data.frame, ?print, ?format and didn't see anything that helped. In
the example below, I would just like to show the two columns of data and
not the row.names 1:10.

How to remove white spaces
All,
I am storing a string of email addresses in a table and when I retrieve
them using a RODBC statement such as:
test = sqlQuery(xf, "select specialist from
roger_sector_specialist")$specialist
'test' is of mode list and includes a bunch of white space. As a
work-around I convert 'test' to a character string, split it based on a
white space, then take the first

How to escape characters in Dialplan
Hello,
I'm using Asterisk 1.6.2.0 and I like to use escape characters with SendText,
because I can just delete the message from my phone (Thomson Speedtouch
ST2030) display by sending a return-char (\n).
But \n is not escaped: I tried already:
exten => 222, n, SendText(\n)
exten => 222, n, SendText("\n")
exten => 222, n, SendText('\n')

Escape character
Hi,
I'm trying to understand how to use the escape character '^]' with the
below command:
virt-install --name=try06 --graphic none --pxe --network bridge=virbr0
--console pty,target_type=serial
"Starting install...
Connected to domain try06
Escape character is ^]"
When I try to do '^]', it does not escape.
The '--console' option makes no difference.

Why do my regular expressions require a double escape \\ to get a literal??
Hi,
I was recently misfortunate enough to have to use regular expressions to
sort out some data in R.
I'm working on a data file which contains taxonomical data of bacteria
in hierarchical order.
A sample of this file can be generated using:
tax.data <- read.table(header=F, con <- textConnection('

how ot replace the diagonal of a matrix
Dear useRs,
Trying to replace the diagonal of a matrix is not working for me. I
want a matrix with .6 on the diag and .4 elsewhere. The following
code looks like it should work--when I lookk at mps and idx they look
how I want them too--but it only replaces the first element, not each
element on the diagonal.
mps <- matrix(rep(.4, 3*3), nrow=n, byrow=TRUE)
idx <- diag(3)
mps
idx
mps[idx]
