similar to: Open user's R function

Greeting R Community, I am a windows user so this problem may be specific to windows. I often want to source files from within R such as: C:\Users\Rinker\Desktop\Research & Law\Data\School Data 09-10. To source this file I need to go through the path and replace all the backslashes (\) with forward slashes (/). I usually do this in MS Word using the replace option, however, I'd like

Dear all, I just want to determine if the characters in a character string are the same or not. For example, temp <- c("aa", "aA", "ab") How do I determine the first one have the two same ?a?, and the second and third have the different characters? Thanks in advance.

Hello, All, I want to write a function to do some works based on the arguments. For example, bind some variables (arguments) as this: myfunction <- function(arg1, arg2, arg3, ?) { x <- cbind(arg1, arg2, arg3, ?) } myfunction(arg1, arg2, arg3, ?) The function can automatically determine the number of arguments and bind them, which means if I assign 2 arguments, the function can bind

Dear all, I have a dataset that looks like this: x <- read.table(textConnection("col1 col2 3 1 2 2 4 7 8 6 5 10"), header=TRUE) I want to rewrite it as below: var1 var2 var3 var4 var5 var6 var7 var8 var9 var10 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0

Dear all, I am trying to write a script to pause the execution of a function and provide some additional commands to the function and then continue execution of the function. For example, when my function detects a wrong number in a dataset, the function pauses automatically and returns information on the screen: ?There is a wrong number in the dataset. Would you like to correct it? ? If I

Dear all, I have a question about how to set arguments in my own function. For example, I have a function that looks like this: my.f <- function(a = x1, b = x2) { x1 = equation 1 x2 = equation 2 x3 = equation 3 y = a + b } x1, x2, and x3 are temporary variables (intermediate results) calculated from other variables within the funciton. I want to use two of these three

Hi, I want to use a character as below in R, as.character("`X^`R\`S") [1] "`X^`R`S" Warning messages: 1: '\`' is an unrecognized escape in a character string 2: unrecognized escape removed from "`X^`R\`S" But I found errors. Can I use some option in as.character() to change this? Thanks Mary [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I''m using the "delete_lines" definition from http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/SimpleTextRecipes . However, when I use it to remove a line with the pattern "/proc/kmsg" I need to escape the slashes for sed/grep and so I end up with "\/proc\/kmsg", but then I get this notices in the log of

Hello, All, I have a dataset that looks like this: x <- matrix(c( 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 3, 1, 1, 3, 1, 1, 3, 1), ncol = 5, byrow = T, dimnames = list(1:10, c("gender", "race", "disease"))) I want to write a function to produce several matrices including only ?TRUE? and ?FALSE? for the different levels of the

I find that Sys.glob() doesn't like UNC paths where the initial slashes are backslashes. The help page for Sys.glob() doesn't specificly mention UNC paths, but does say: "File paths in Windows are interpreted with separator \ or /." Is the failure to treat a path beginning with a double-backslash as a UNC network drive path the intended behavior? E.g., on a Windows system

Hi, Back in June I posted the message below, but had no replies. I've made a little progress since then so this is to update anyone interested (!) and to ask for comments. Brief problem statement: Under Windows, some parts of R don't handle UNC paths beginning with backslashes. Specifically a) Sys.glob() fails to find some files breaking (e.g.) Rcmdr plugins

Dear all, I have a question about deleting components of a list. For example, I have a list that looks like this: [[1]] var1 var2 var3 1 3 4 2 2 1 [[2]] var1 var2 var3 2 5 1 2 1 7 [[3]] var1 var2 var3 1 6 7 3 8 4 How to delete, say, the first columns of the list or the second rows? Thank in advance. Lisa -- View

Dear all, I have a dataset that looks like this: inividual var1 var2 ? 1 1 1 ? 2 1 2 ? 3 2 1 ? 4 2 2 ? ? ? ? ? I will random sample 2 individuals from this dataset based on a set of random numbers, e.g., rn1 <- c(0, 0, 1, 1), rn2 <- c(0, 0, 2, 0), rn3 <- c(1, 0, 0, 1), rn4 <-

Dear all, I have a question about how to suppress intermediate results in a function on console. For example, I will use summary() in my own function that looks like: myfunction <- function(?) { ? Summary(x) ? } Then myfunction() will print ?x? on console that is intermediate result and doesn?t need showing. Does someone have any idea or any suggestion? Thank you in advance. Lisa
