similar to: Problems with DCOM client packages under R 2.0

Hello all Can R be used as a COM client (rather than as a COM server)? The following (Splus) code shows the sort of thing I'd like to do: pMIM <- create.ole.object("mim31.Server") NoOutputLines <- call.ole.method(pMIM, "SendCmdLine", "show w") for (i in 1:NoOutputLines) show(call.ole.method(pMIM, "GetOutputLine")) release.ole.object(pMIM)

Dear list member, I am using the packages RDCOMClient and SWinTypeLibs and try to import a COM object (created in Delphi) in R that is of type 'early binding' instead of late 'late binding'. Is there a possibility to do this in R? Currently, the following returns an error message: l1 = LoadTypeLib("c:\\Programme\\INVESCO\\QaCalendar\\Calendar.dll")

I am having trouble using the R2wd package. The last time I used it successfully, I was running an earlier version of R and an earlier version of Word with an earlier Windows OS. I'm not sure which if any of these changes might be contributing to the problem. Right now I'm using R version 2.15.0 (2012-03-30) for Windows MS Word 2010 version 14.0.6112.5000 (32-bit)

Hi List, I am trying to learn something about the exchange facilities between R and Windows Application with the RDCOMClient package from (http://www.omegahat.org/RDCOMClient/) and I have faced 2 problems: 1. I could not follow the link for the binary version of SWinTypeLibs package on the site, (as it has given me a restricted permission message), but I downloaded it by searching it on google

hi, I use R - 2.15(32bit), and want to make a code to clear a console. Actually, I used to run following code to do that but after update the version of R from 2.14 to 2.15, it doesn't work. cls <- function (t) { require(RDCOMClient) wsh <- COMCreate("Wscript.Shell") wsh$SendKeys("\f") invisible(wsh) } cls() or cls <-

I try to produce and modify shapes in a PowerPoint presentation but run into a difficulty setting a variable. library(RDCOMClient) # load RDCOMClient package library(SWinTypeLibs) # package SWinTypeLibs from Omegahat to access information about COM libraries ppt = COMCreate("PowerPoint.Application") # create a ppt COM ppt[["Visible"]] <- TRUE # set COM

In response to a few private e-mails, here a summary of using Delphi, R-DCOM and R 2.2.0 1) As Earl Glynn noted ( http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/50705.html ), there were a few paths specific to my installation in http://www.menne-biomed.de/download/RDComDelphi.zip leading to path errors on compilation. Hopefully, this has been corrected in the new zip file. 2) Always check if

I have Excel files containing data that I would like to move to R. They are in the standard form of a one row header followed by rows of data, one record per row EXCEPT that there are a few rows of comments before the header. The number of rows of comments varies. For Excel files of this form without comments I have had success with: require(RODBC) z <-

Hi, I'm trying to use the excel.link package to write data to excel spreadsheets. I've installed the RDCOMClient package as required but get the error: package 'RDCOMClient' is not installed for 'arch=x64' I'm on Rx64 2.13.0. I assume it means the RDCOMClient package does not work on the x64 version. I've tried to see if there does a x64 RDCOMClient package

?wordReport gives a lot of information, but I think it makes us wish for more :-) Where can I find all the ways to write Word documents using R? Namely: (1) is there any way to open a new document and save it automatically? The sequence: WordOpen("new_file.doc"); WordInsertText("R rulez!\n"); WordExit() will prompt for the Yes/No/Cancel prompt, and if I answer

Hi, I am trying to use the mimR Package. According to its help pages it needs the RDCOMClient package to run. When I try to evaluate a model I get > m.sat<-mim("..",data=gm.dat) Error in mim.cmd("clear; clear output") : couldn't find function "COMCreate" > m2.sat<-emfit(m.sat) Error in toMIM(mim$data) : Object "m.sat" not found >

Hi, I?m using R package RDCOMClient (http://www.omegahat.org/RDCOMClient/) to retrieve data from MS Excel workbook. I?m using the code below to count the number of sheets in the workbook and then loop the data from sheets in to a list. ############# R code ################### library(gdata) library(RDCOMClient) xl <- COMCreate("Excel.Application") sh <-

I'm encountering excruciatingly slow load times for character vectors in R 2.6.0-- up to 30sec for a 15K file that contains a no-attributes character vector of length ~1e4 and object size ~0.5MB. In R 2.5.1, repeated loads of the same set of files are near-instantaneous. The problem is proving tricky to reproduce consistently from scratch, so I have attached the 3 files used in the examples

Hi, This may be due to several reasons. That I can think about: 1) Ensure you close *all* possibly open workbooks: nBooks <- xl[["Workbooks"]]$Count(); for (i in seq_len(nBooks)) xl[["Workbooks"]]$item(i)$Close(SaveChanges=FALSE); 2) The excel application reference does not seem to be really released until the garbage collector runs. So this may help: xl$Quit();

I have finally got around to putting 4 packages on the Omegahat web site for use on Microsoft Windows. The packages are: RDCOMClient - interactive, dynamic access to arbitrary (D)COM objects from within R that allows one to create COM objects from R and call their methods and access their properties without the need to compile any code specific to the COM object. RDCOMServer - facility for

I?ve been using this routine for several years. I?m sorry, I don?t remember where I got it. It works as it should, viz. it blanks the R console. But it requires package rcom and now that requires rscproxy. cls <- function () { require(rcom) wsh <- comCreateObject("Wscript.Shell") comInvoke(wsh, "SendKeys", "\f") invisible(wsh) } > cls()
