similar to: install.packages, bundles, pmatch, and Rprofile...

Dear R-Helpers, I'm fiddling with my .Rprofile in Windows XP & R 2.7.0 Beta. I prefer to manually save my workspace but automatically save my command history via the .Rprofile. That is working fine once I found that "utils::" was required before the loadhistory & savehistory functions. What I would like to do is add a separator line with a date between the histories of each

Hi All, Since I changed the gregmisc package into a bundle, I almost daily questions asking how to get the individual packages contained in the bundle. The standard example arises when someone attempts to install and then use my 'genetics' package which depends on the 'gdata' package contained within the 'gregmisc' bundle. The install succedes, but when the user does

I have a function (see below) that does some bootstrapping (I am happy to expand offline why I could use existing functions.) I put my results into and empty matrix and add a row of results with each iteration. My problem is i am a new user to R and I don't understand data frames, matrices, elements, and vectors well. What I would like is to have a data frame I can manipulate outside of the

Given the confusions that some users have regarding package bundles, I'd like to suggest some changes to how package bundles are handled. My understanding is that a package bundle is essentially a convenient way to distribute related packages, so that users can download/install them in one shot. However, some users apparently get confused that one can do install.packages("abundle")

Dear R-users, I am having some issues with a package I am working on (using R 2.12.1 in a Linux environment) and would like to have your opinions/advises. My package - let's call it mypackage for the purpose of this email - passes all checks of R CMD check, except for the following failure message: Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'mypackage', details: call:

The pmatch help (see also section 4.3.2 in the R Language Definition) claims that pmatch with duplicates.ok=FALSE provides the same functionality as R's argument matching algorithm, modulo how empty strings are matched. Here's an undocumented inconsistency between pmatch and R's argument matching algorithm: > sessionInfo() R version 3.0.1 (2013-05-16) Platform:

I am using R0.64.1 under Windows 95. The help for `pmatch' states that: If `duplicates.ok' is false multiple matches will result in the value of `nomatch' being returned, and if it is true, the index of the first matching value will be returned. The help for pmatch gives the following examples: pmatch("m", c("mean",

Hi, I wonder if there's a good intro to the pattern matching using R? I'm a perl programer and find it too confusing and complex to use regular expressions under R. For instance, why does pmatch("d","ad") returns NULL? How would I call the functions in order to match any portion of the string? Under what circumstances shall backslush be used? I try to extract all

I observed the following: match.arg("white", colors()) yields 'white', but match.arg("whit", colors()) yields: `Error in match.arg("whit", colors()) : 'arg' should be one of "white", "aliceblue", '... this message actually comes from `pmatch'. using a suitable subset of `colors()' works OK. the precise length

Hello R Helpers, Business - 64 bit windows 7, R 2.11.1 I am trying to match the character contents of one list, called 'exclude', to those of a second list, called 'dataset' dataset is a list of file names with folder locations, and looks like this when called: > dataset [1] "A/10-10-29a-13.cdf" "A/10-10-29a-14.cdf" "A/10-10-29a-15.cdf"

Dear all, I really appreciate your help. I think I have a little advancement. ^_^ When I enter the Dos environment, at first, into the D:\>, I type the following code: cd Program Files\R\rw2011\ bin\R CMD install /example "example" is in the d:\, which include the R folder and "DESCRIPTION" file, But I wrote nothing in the "DESCRIPTION" file. Actually, I

I have a revised version of the gregmisc package, which I've converted into a package bundle each of which has a namespace: gplots, gmodels, gdata, gtoools. Of course, there are interdependencies among these namespaces: gsun374: /tmp [11]> cd gregmisc/ gsun374: gregmisc [12]> grep import */NAMESPACE gdata/NAMESPACE:importFrom(gtools, odd, invalid, mixedsort)

Dear R users I have been using R for a while. However, I don't know what is the convenient way to update R to the newest version while keep all packages I previously downloaded and installed from CRAN, if updating all those packages the same will be even better. for the time being, I reinstall all those package evrytime after updating the version. Thank you. best regards yong

Hello, I notice an odd behavior of gregmisc package when using "update.packages()" via R --no-save (as root). Every time I launch update.packages() gregmisc is repeatedly selected for upgrade. Current available version of gregmisc is 2.08 according to 'installed.packages()'. Despite I obviousely have already installed the most up to date gregmisc, gregmisc will be updated

If I issue the command > update.packages() it wants to update 'gregmisc' but then if I do it again right afterwards it still wants to update 'gregmisc'. It should have updated everything the first time and should not be trying to update anything the second time. Any comments? Here is the transcript of a session (R version at end): > update.packages() gregmisc :
