I wouldn't call it a bug, but may be people like to know about it My windows editor needs to be called with commandlineparameter -m to create a new instance, which stopped working via options(editor=). (it used to work until RW1011, it still works using shell() and system())
x <- 1 edit(x, editor="textpad -m")
Error in edit(name, file, editor) : unable to run editor textpad -m My workaround is to start the editor with a batch file that adds -m
I don't know "textpad", but everything works fine with for "WinEdt" using for example: editor = "\"e:/programme/winedt/winedt.exe\" -c=\"R-Editor\" -e=r.ini -V" I would try e.g.: 1. edit(x, editor="\"textpad\" -m") 2. edit(x, editor="\"c:/fullpath/textpad\" -m") Uwe Ligges -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
