Matched pairs with two data frames
Hi,
I have a frame "treat" and want to find matched pairs in the data frame
"control". In the matched (combined) data frame there should be two
variables (0/1),indicating the "source" of the data (treat or control),
so that it is possibe to set a "filter" (extraxt/select data).
#Here are the dataframes (my real data frames have many variables)

Barplot: Vertical bars with long labels
Dear List,
I need a barplot with vertical bars. Each bar should have a label.
The problem is, that the labels are too long, so they overlap, or
only every seccond label is displayed in the output.
Here is a little syntax:
dd <- c(100,110,90,105,95)

Strange behaviour of setwd/getwd
I've found the following strange behaviour R (RStudio) which has been
confirmed by another user in RGui.
Inside a script I want to set two variables:
default.wd = getwd()
tmp.wd = setwd(choose.dir())
After choosing tmp.wd the value of default.wd is shown in Workspace, but
getwd() is giving back the correct string of tmp.wd.
Is there a workaround for the problem?

Query concerning working directory for file.choose()
I've been working on a small personal project that needs to select files for manipulation from
various directories and move them around in planned ways. file.choose() is a nice way to select
files. However, I've noticed that if file.choose() is called within a function, it is the
directory from which that calling function has been invoked that is displayed by file.choose().
This is not

setwd in windows
Dear friends - windows R 3.3.3 - sorry to ask a simple question - but I
cannot make setwd work properly in scripts
In the example below I have made a directory in C (firstdir) and a

the second from the first - it works when I put the entire path but not
the tilde - what am I missing? I was around rwf 2.14 as per the help

Query concerning working directory for file.choose()
I believe file.choose() remembers the last choice, and repeats that
location the next time you call it. This is true when it is called at
top level or from within a function.
The first time you call it in a session, it will default to the current
working directory, but not after that.
Front ends are allowed to replace the underlying function, so that may
depend on which front end you are

.Rprofile replacement function setwd() causing errors
In my .Rprofile I have the following functions which display the
current directory in the main R window title bar,
and modify base::setwd() to keep this up to date. I like this because I
can always tell where I am in the file system.
cd <- function(dir) {
base::setwd(dir)
utils::setWindowTitle( short.path(base::getwd()) )
}
short.path <- function(dir, len=2) {

setting the current working directory to the location of the source file
AFAIK a script run through source() does not have any legit way to learn
about it's own location.
I need this to make sure that the script will find its datafiles after I
move the whole directory. (The datafiles are in the same directory.)
Here is a hack I invented to work around it:
print(getwd())
source_pathname = get("ofile",envir = parent.frame())

locked binding of setwd() in R 2.15.x causes .Rprofile to fail
[Env: Win XP, R 2.14.2, R 2.15.0]
I have a replacement function for setwd() in my .Rprofile which displays
the current R path in the R window
title. It no longer works in R 2.15.x, giving the error below. Worse,
the error prevents the rest of my
.Rprofile script from completing.
Is there some way to rescue this, i.e., preserve this behavior in
R 2.15? If not, how can I modify my script so it

Extracting an object name?
Dear Sir or Madam:
This is an extension to a earlier post, about looping through several
thousand files, and testing student's models against a different
data-set, called rclnow, for "recall now".
The problem is, that the instructor never specified to the students,
what they should name their "lm" object.
So what they created was:
"arbitrary variable name"

assignInNamespace to create a setwd() replacement: how to use unlockBinding()?
In my .Rprofile for Windows, I had the following functions defined to
mirror a few features
I miss from linux:
(a) replace setwd() with a version that stashes the current directory so
it can be easily restored
(b) writes a short version of the current R directory to the Windows
title bar: I can always see where I am,
with multiple Rgui windows.
(c) creates a cd() shorthand for setwd(), but
