similar to: Underscore or not?

Hello, After much tinkering I managed to build packages using the 64bit version of R with the help of hints from http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ and http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/~ripley/Win64/W64porting.html and R-admin Manual. But a hack was required, and this seems to be related to a comment about underscores at the end of the second reference above (but this comment is about FUTURE

This is a question that I should have sent to 'ess-help', but I take my chances... In 'NEWS' (1.9.0) I read the good news o Underscore '_' is now allowed in syntactically valid names, and make.names() no longer changes underscores. Very old code ... but when I try it in emacs (ESS 5.1.24), my '_' are changed to ' <- '! What can I do?

Hi All, So I just joined the list - first off, Markdown is a great format and we're using it in our online community project disCourse: http://discourse.ics.hawaii.edu We're using markdown for our wiki pages, stories, message postings, pretty much everywhere. One markdown policy that doesn't seem to fit intuitively for our users is the fact that embedded underscores leads to

Suppose you're reading data from a file in which the column names contain underscore characters. Example: ------ start of file ----- pos_x pos_y 1.0 0.0 2.0 1.0 ------ end of file ------- Using read.table, I can read this file just fine: > data <- read.table (file="data", head=T) > data pos_x pos_y 1 1 0 2 2 1 > However, I can't

Dear R-gang, I have a question about handling underscores in names in R 1.8.1 and 1.9.0. I recently installed 1.9.0 on a machine and found that many codes no longer work as a result of the changed behavior in make.names. I have numerous data files that have dashes, periods and underscores in the header row. I've got numerous R codes that read those files with read.table and read.csv and

This might more properly be filed as a bug report, but ... I came upon the following problem while trying to dyn.load a library of Fortran code into R. I'm running RedHat 7.1 on a Pentium III laptop, with R version 1.3.1 (latest rpm from CRAN) and gcc/g77 version 2.96. My library has a number of Fortran subroutines that have underscores in their names for readability. By default g77

Hello, all, I'd like to propose that now that the underscore-as-assignment-operator is to be removed from R (good thing, too), that the Windows GUI should replace the underscore ``_'' with the proper assignment operator ``<-'' when you type in the underscore character. This is the current default behaviour in the ESS mode in emacs, and seems to me to be a generally good

Hello All, I''ve submitted a patch (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/8898) to enable #underscore to be reversible. I had trouble creating a class named "CRSContact", and it turns out that underscore and camelize are not reversible in cases where there are 3 or more capital letters. As there is a dependency between class name and file name I think it would be beneficial for

Hello all, I'm trying to hide files beginning with a underscore ( "_" ) and hidden files from my samba share's so i added this to my smb.conf: veto files = /_*/.*/ The section with the dot works, but the one with the underscore doesn't. I also tried /\_*/.*/ but this has the same result. Any ideas how to hide the files beginning with a underscore? Thanks, Evas

Hi all, I've noticed that OpenSSH 7.7 adds stricter validation of user environment strings from authorized_keys files. While strict validation is a good thing from a security perspective, this new change specifically blocks underscores which are common to include in a user environment string. This results in the key being rejected outright. Including underscores in a user environment is a

Hi, ESS replaces "_" by "<-". How can I switch off this feature? I need to be able to type the underscore Thanks Eryk -- Witold Eryk Wolski Heidmark str 5 D-28329 Bremen tel.: 04215261837

don't know much about programming. But I know that it is not a good idea to assign a variable name to the name of an intrinsic constant or function. In your example, you assign the name "c" to a variable. But "c" is already the name of a function i R. In this way you are asking for trouble. -----Original Message----- From: owner-r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch

Are there technical reasons that package names cannot be snake case? This seems to be enforced by `.standard_regexps()$valid_package_name` which currently returns "[[:alpha:]][[:alnum:].]*[[:alnum:]]" Is there any technical reason this couldn't be altered to accept `_` as well, e.g. "[[:alpha:]][[:alnum:]._]*[[:alnum:]]" I realize that historically `_` has not

Naming policies are always tricky. The one proposed by Hadley, as the one proposed by Google, are usable but not optimal according to most common needs, that are 1. Name a package 2. Name a class 3. Name a function 4. Name a parameter of a function 5. Name a variable My approach is the following 1. Package names should be made of lowercase characters, dash, dot and underscore 2. Class names

I'm having problems with functions starting with underscores '_foo' <- function(x) {1} seems to work but I can't assign an attribute to this function attr('_foo', 'bar') <- 'pow' Any way of doing this? This is for a C++ -> R wrapping system so I'd like to keep the C++ names which start with underscores. (please cc: responses to me

Hi all, I've just started using the Friedrich Leisch's Sweave package to generate LaTeX reports with results of my analyses embedded as required. I've encountered a bit of a problem though in the processing of the resulting *.tex file that is as far as I can tell, down to the fact that my variable names have underscores ('_') in their names. The relevant section of code

hi, i am looking for a solution whereupon calling myEntityObject.to_xml does not convert my attributes containing underscores into hyphens. at the moment an attribute named "my_own_attribute" is converted into <my-own-attribute>. does anybody have an idea how to change that and have to_xml generate <my_own_attribute> thanks ciao robertj -- Posted via

I am using ms sql server and want to configure RoR such that it does not convert the given table name (example: rubyonrails) to ruby_on_rails. I set @@pluralize_table_names = false, so that it does not pluralize the table names but cannot find the config setting which will force it not to put underscore between words in a table name. thanks in advance, -- avinash -- Posted via
