What is the simplest way to extract a matched subexpression? Eg. in perl you can do "hello world" =~ m/hello (.*)/ which would return 1(true) and set $1 to the matched subexpression "world". -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/regular-expression-submatch-tp1459146p1459146.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Perhaps this is a common question but I haven't been able to find the answer. I have data with many factors, each taking many values. However, only relatively few combinations appear in the data, ie have nonzero counts, in other words the resulting table is sparse. Say we have 10 factors each with 10 levels. The result of table() would exceed the memory space (on a 32bit machine). Is there

Why when I assign 0 to an element of an integer vector does the type change to numeric? Here is a particularly perplexing example: > v <- 0:10 > v [1] 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 > class(v) [1] "integer" > v[1] <- 0 > class(v) [1] "numeric" #!! > -- View this message in context:

I'd like to write some objects (eg arrays) to a log file. cat() flattens them out. I'd like them formatted as in 'print' but print only writes to stdout. Is there a simple way to achieve this result?

Suppose I have an n-diml array A and I want to extract the first "row" -- ie all elements A[1, ...] Interactively if I know 'n' I can write A[1,,,,,] with (n-1) commas. How do I do the same more generally, eg in a script? (I can think of doing this by converting A to a vector then extracting the approp elements then reshaping it to an array, but I wonder if there isn't a

When I do dev.new(), the resulting window comes to the front and grabs the focus. Is there a way to prevent this so I can continue working in other windows while the graphics are being produced?

I saw a Help e-mail related to MLE. Does R have a probability weighted method (PWM) estimator function? I can't seem to find anything on PWM, unless my eyes are playing trick on me. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I've asked about custom sorting before and it appears that -- in terms of a user-defined order -- it can only be done either by defining a custom class or using various tricks with "order" Just wondering if anyone has a clever way to order "vintages" of the form 2002, 2003H1, 2003H2, 2004, 2005Q1, 2005Q2, etc some have H1 or H2, some have Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4, some are just plain

Hi list, I'd like to make a factor with seven 1s and three 2s using the factor() function. That is, 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 I will then bind this factor to the matrix below using cbind.data.frame(). 0.56 0.48 0.22 0.59 0.32 0.64 0.26 0.60 0.25 0.38 0.24 0.45 0.56 0.67 0.78 0.97 0.87 0.79 0.82 0.85 I am new to R and have been using various manuals and have made many attempts without

Is this a bug? > f1 <- factor(c("a", NA), levels = c("a", "NA") ) > f2 <- f1[, drop = TRUE] > f2 [1] a <NA> Levels: a <NA> I would have expected f2 to have only one level, "a". It seems to me that the code in [.factor does not follow the advice in help("factor") on how to set factor codes to be

Hello, I have upgraded from Mandrake Linux 8.0 to Mandrake 8.1 and try to reinstall my favourite R... Everything is OK for the base software but I have trouble to get some packages installed. Specifically, for some packages, a "collect2" binary seems to be necessary during the compilation/linking process of the library, and LD complains about not finding it : Installing source

Full_Name: J. R. M. Hosking Version: 1.3.0 OS: Windows 2000 Submission from: (NULL) (198.81.209.16) R documentation suggests that if a function argument x is omitted, missing(x) should return TRUE even if x is subsequently assigned a value. This happens in S-plus. But in R: > test function(x){ print(missing(x)) if(missing(x)) x<-0 print(missing(x)) invisible() } > test() [1] TRUE [1]

It seems that when an argument 'mgp' is supplied to axis(), the mgp[2] value (position of tick mark labels) is honoured but the mgp[3] value (position of axis line) is ignored. Example: plot(1:5, xaxt='n', ann=FALSE) par(mgp=c(0,2,1)) axis(1, at=2:4, mgp=c(0,-2,-3)) Axis line is plotted at margin line 1, tick mark labels at line -3. Is this a bug? J. R. M. Hosking

Dear Sir in the following example,is the vector lmom a l-moment ratios vector? What is meant by size = northCascades[,1]? And what are the values in c(0.0104,0.0399,0.0405)?
