Running Scripting on Linux Machine
Hi there, I am working in SLES / SLED 10. I use ALT+X then SHIFT+R? Many thanks, Bronagh -----Original Message----- From: Gavin Simpson [mailto:gavin.simpson at ucl.ac.uk] Sent: 23 April 2009 11:44 To: Bronagh Grimes Cc: r-help at r-project.org Subject: RE: [R] Running Scripting on Linux Machine

Hi Gavin, I downloaded ESS & can now see a buffer named '*ESS*' in my EMACS
script
file. To start an ESS process I followed the notes in the documentation: 1. To start an S session on Unix or on Windows when you use the Cygwin bash shell, simply type M-x S RET. 2. S will then (by default) ask the question 3. S starting data directory? 4. Enter the name of the directory you wish to start S from (that is, the directory you would have cd'd to before starting S from the
shell).
This directory should have a '.Data' subdirectory. 5. You will then be popped into a buffer with name '*S*' which will be used for interacting with the ESS process, and you can start entering commands. I can open R via step 1, but step 2 does not then happen.
What OS? In my Emacs on Fedoras 7 through 10 the starting directory question appears in what is often called the status bar (along the bottom edge). It even proposes a starting directory for you. M-x R is what i use to start R. G
Any advice on how I go about opening the ESS for working on?

Hi all, I am new to using R on a Linux machine & I have a few questions on set-up. If anyone has experience in this area any advice would be greatly appreciated. - When I open R I have the option to do the following: o 'Run in Terminal' o 'Display' o 'Cancel' o 'Run' - My only option to open a window such as we find in the Windows version is to choose 'Run in Terminal'. - I really want to run a script where I can run sections of
the
code each time. - As we know in Windows we have the option to 'Open New
Script'
& from here can choose 'Run line or Selection' - In this version I can indeed save a script & open with 'Emacs', 'KWrite' OR 'Kate'. - But the only way I can run this script is to call the
whole
script using the source() function.
Not so in Emacs with ESS installed. You can run lines, regions, paragraphs etc. in an R instance within emacs itself. See the ess website for further details: http://ess.r-project.org I don't know about the other K* applications... G
- Does anyone know how I can implement a script that I can
run
as in the Windows version, whereby I can run one line at a time if I
wish for testing purposes? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance, [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
