similar to: 'scan' in a script?

Hi, Two easy questions I'm sure. 1) As an example if I use the code require(zoo) then once it's loaded is there a command that lists everything that zoo provides so that I can study the package? Certainly help(zoo) gives me some clues about what zoo does but I'd like a list. Maybe there's a way to query something but in Rgui under Win Vista ls() returns nothing after zoo

Hi, I have 15 or 20 functions I've written to convert the sort of data I'm working with. They are currently in their own R file which I load by hand in Rgui before loading and running my main programs. Is there any way to have this file included in my R program like #include might in C? If not is there a simple newbie-type example of how to create a package so I could just say

Hi, In a completely clean account that's never run Wine before I run wine --version. Wine installs a new .wine directory but this Wine directory has no config file. I looked in the 3 obvious files but none of them seem to have an option for changing between OSS, Alsa and JAck. where do I make this setting change now? Thanks, Mark

Hi, I looked in the language definition and was surprised. Is there really no multi-line/block comment defined in R? I wanted to comment out 20 lines that I'm moving to a function but didn't want to delete them. Is there no defined way to get around using a # on each of the 20 lines? Thanks, Mark

It seems to me the following should work (in fact, it comes from someone's SPlus file). Instead, it reads the first 8 lines and then spits out syntax errors. Using nlines=36 works. Using nmax does not. Intel RH5.2 with R90.0. Debugging shows it must be internal. Jim junk <- scan(file="",list(i=0,r1=0,r2=0,lull="",day=""),n=5*36) 1 3 5 no 1 2 1

Hi, I've tried to capture the basics of this problem I'm having. Been working on this for a couple of days and just cannot get past it. As a test of this list software I've attached is a small text file zipped up. I hope it gets through but if it doesn't I'll post the actual text which is only 26 lines. Put it somewhere sensible and change the first line in the code to point

Hi, I'm trying to plot two variables in one graph. One ranges between 0 and 1, while the other ranges between 50 and 500. Can I plot them in one graph with similar scale? Thanks Harry [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I made the attached picture by mocking up three separate plots sort of like how I'd like to make a new plot. Hopefully it will get through to the list. Is there a way to do this directly using par somehow? Or one of the other plotting packages? Basically, multiple larger plot above multiple groups of smaller plots? The smaller plots are just par(mrow=c(2,3)) things, and I can

Dear R-users, When i try - Data1<-read.table("/Users/kama/Analysis/GDP10.csv",header=TRUE,sep=";") i am getting this error: Warning message: In scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings, : number of items read is not a multiple of the number of columns I wonder what Iam doing wrong. i guess it is something simple, however, i do not understand

Dear all, I am trying to read in big amounts of data with scan. It's only one variable, numeric values, separated by tabs,.. and it's many of them. So I was thinking that I could use the skip option and read in 100000 values at a time - but skip doesn't work, probably because I don't have line breaks in the txt file. So any value specified for skip makes the scan function jump to

I have a data.frame that was built from a number of smaller data.frames with rbind. Each ssmaller data.frame bound together runs over the same date ranges. The format of the whole thing looks like this: Trade PosType EnDate EnTime ExDate ExTime PL_Pos 1 1 1 1040107 915 1040107 1300 164 2 2 1 1040108 909 1040108 1300 184 3 3 1 1040115

Hi folks, I followed an online example to input data; > x = scan(1,2,3,4,5) Error in scan(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) : either specify 'nmax' or 'n', but not both. It can't work. > x = c(1,2,3,4,5) > x [1] 1 2 3 4 5 It works. Whether "scan" is replaced with "c" ? > ?c ..... Usage: c(..., recursive=FALSE) TIA B.R. Stephen L

Sometimes it's the simple things... Why doesn't this lag X$x by 3 and place it in X$x1? (i.e. - Na's in the first 3 rows and then values showing up...) The help page does talk about time series. If lag doesn't work on data.frame columns then what would be the right function to use to lag by a variable amount? Thanks, Mark X=data.frame(x=seq(1:10)) X$x1=lag(X$x, 3) X

Hi, In the examples from the ReShape package there is a simple example of using melt followed by cast that produces a smallish amount of output about the chicks database. Here's the code: library(reshape) names(ChickWeight) <- tolower(names(ChickWeight)) chick_m <- melt(ChickWeight, id=2:4, na.rm=TRUE) DietResults <- cast(chick_m, diet + chick ~ time) DietResults My challenge

Hi, Can strptime (or some other function) help me turn the following column of a data.frame into two new columns, one as date and the other as time, preserving the AM/PM value?

Hi, I wonder if I'm just missing it. Does Winetools have any built in support for installing Java to run under Wine? I want to use a web site (Streetsmart.com) that is restricted to using IE. I've got IE running under Wine but now need Java support to continue forward. Thanks, Mark

Hi, I am apparently not understanding some nuance about either the use of subset or more likely my ability to test for a numerical match using '='. Which is it? Thanks in advance. I've read a data file, reshaped it and then created MyResults by keeping only lines where the value column is greater than 0. So far so good. The data in MyResults looks good to me by eye. The

After being on this list for years, mostly as a lurker and sometime participant, I find that due specifically to the new changes in list membership via the forums that it's time for me to unsubscribe. While I think it's a very healthy in the long run to have more folks participating in Wine's growth I also find the quality of the emails coming across my desk to be significantly less

Hi, In my data.frame I wanted to essentially write If(Test) c*d else c+d but that doesn't work. I found I could do it mathematically, but it seems forced and won't scale well for nested logic. I have two examples below writing columns e & f, but I don't think the code is self-documenting as it depends on knowing that Test is a TRUE/FALSE. Is there a better way to do the
