R 4.2.3 OS X Colleagues This should be easy -- but not for me. I want to plot text similar to this: N ? XX: YY where XX can be either 1 or 50 and YY is an integer I envision that there would be two solutions: UNICODE: If I can generate "?" via unicode, the problem is solved: mtext(side=3, paste0("N ", UNICODE, " ", XX, ": ", YY)) PLOTMATH:

Colleagues I have just encountered an interesting problem with readLines in R 2.7.0 in Windows Vista. I am trying to read a line that is created in the following manner: 1. Intel Fortran (ifort) 10.1 creates two text files. 2. The OS concatenates these files with: copy FILE1 +FILE2 FILE3 From R, I execute: readLines("FILE3") Only the first portion of the file (the original

Colleagues R 2.10.1 on a Mac I read in textfiles using readLines, then I process those files, then I use R to execute another program. Occasionally those files contain characters other than letter / numbers / routine punctuation marks. For example, a bullet (option-8 on a Mac) triggers the problem. Although R can read and process those characters, the other program cannot so I would like to

Colleagues R: 2.12.2 OS X I have a set of text objects in the form (I am showing 3 of what is more likely to be 20 or so): OBJECTS <- c("abcSOMETHINGCOMMONegf", "xSOMETHINGCOMMONyz", "SOMETHINGCOMMONnme") As you can see, all contain "SOMETHINGCOMMON" and the position varies. But, I don't know what that "SOMETHINGCOMMON" is. Is there an

R 2.12.2 Windows 7 Colleagues, I just took advantage of the function: readWindowsShortcut in R.utils. It accomplished my goals and I was interested in learning its inner workings. So, I typed the function at the command line (without arguments or parentheses). R returned: function (...) UseMethod("readWindowsShortcut") <environment: namespace:R.utils> providing no

Colleagues, What is the easiest means to embed a: ? (registered) or ? (trademark) sign in text in a graphic. I would like to use mtext and avoid plotmath, if possible. Ideally, the sign should be superscripted but I can easily sacrifice that. Optimally, I need a solution that works in both OS X and Windows (? XP) and with R versions ? 2.11 Thanks in advance.

Colleagues, I am trying to understand how R (2.12.1) obtains the PATH environment variable in Windows (7 or Vista). Startup {base} directs one to: "R_ENVIRON" -- which equals "" in my systems R_HOME/etc/Renviron.site -- which does not exist Next, it directs to: R_HOME/etc/Rprofile.site -- which also does not exist (the expected behavior in a "factory-fresh"

R 2.15.1 OS X.7.4 Colleagues, I have a large dataset (27773536 records, the file is several GB) that contains a column of date / time entries in the format: "2/1/2011 13:25:01" I need to convert these to numeric values (ideally in seconds; the origin [e.g., 1970-01-01] is not important). I am using: as.numeric(strptime(DATA$DATADTM, "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S")) It takes 21

Colleagues I am executing a length script in R (20K lines). At one point, it returns: > Loading required package: tcltk > Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done > Loading required package: Hmisc > Loading required package: survival > Loading required package: stats > Loading required package: graphics > Loading required package: splines > Attaching package: 'Hmisc'

Colleagues OS 10.5 R: 2.10.1 I have a simple x-y plot for which I would like to shade the lower (or upper) part of the interior region (i.e., the area bounded by the axes). If the delineation between top and bottom were linear, it would be use to use the polygon function. However, the delineation is a curve (which I can describe by an equation). In theory, I could divide the x-axis into a

Colleagues, [R 2.11; OS X] I am processing a file on the fly that contains the following text: XXX?? [email clients may display this differently -- the string is three X's followed by two instances of the letter a with an acute accent] I read the file with: X <- readLines(FILENAME) In this instance, the text of interest is on line 213. When I examine line 213, it reads: XXX\xe1\xe1

Colleagues, I am using R (2.9.2, all platforms) to search for a complicated text string using regular expressions. I would appreciate any help you can provide. The string consists of the following elements: SOMEWORDWITHNOSPACES any number of spaces and/or tabs ( any number of spaces and/or tabs integer any number of spaces and/or tabs ) Examples include: WORD ( 123 ) WORD(1 )

Colleagues, I am trying to create a PDF document in which I use margin text with two different fonts. The resulting text might be: XXXXXyZZZ where X and Z are one font and Y is the other. My plan was to do this in the following manner: mtext("XXXXX ZZZ", cex=2, adj=0.5, family=SOMEFONT) mtext("Y", cex=2, adj=??, family=DIFFERENTFONT) My question regards how to calculate

Colleagues Assume that I have a vector containing some text strings, some of which contain a particular character. I could like to apply "toupper" to the text before the character. For example (in this case, "|" is the particular character): ORIGINAL: TEXT <- c("aaaa", "bbb|cc", "|ddd") AFTER APPLICATION OF toupper: TEXT <-

R: 2.12.1 OS X Colleagues I am working with lattice graphics for the first time and I am confused by some aspects of controlling these graphics. The most pressing issue is the following: I can print the graphics without problems with the command: print(MYFUNCTION(SOMEOBJECT) However, I would like to add margin text (this terminology might not apply in this setting). I am able to do so with

R version 2.13.1 OS X (or Windows) Colleagues, I received a number of files with a .xls extension. These files open in XL and, by all appearances, are XL files. However, it appears to me that the files are actually XML: > readLines(dir()[16])[1:10] [1] "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>" [2] "<Workbook

Colleagues, I am using R to assemble RTF documents (which are plain text). I need to embed a JPEG graphic that was created with R. I presume that the steps need to be: a. read the file into R b. convert the object to HEX format c. write the converted object to a textfile. If I read the file into R using readLines, I get the following (only the first 5 lines shown): > >

R version: 2.13.1 OS X Colleagues, I am working with a CSV file; for testing purposes, I created an XLS version of the file. When I read these files using read.xls (gdata) or read.csv, I encounter an error: Error in type.convert(data[[i]], as.is = as.is[i], dec = dec, na.strings = character(0L)) : invalid multibyte string at '<b0>C' The error occurs whether or not I invoke

R 2.15.1 OS 10.7 Colleagues I have been an enthusiastic user of the sas7bdat package in R. However, several recent sas7bdat files sent to me from different sources cannot be read by the package. The error message is: Error in read.sas7bdat(FILENAME) : unknown host W32_7PRO please report bugs to sas7bdatRbugs at gmail.com I examined the file with a text editor and it contains

Mark Thanks for pointing this out. I did a default installation of R. Does this mean that I need to reinstall from the command line?
