Thanks, Dr Warnes & Prof Ripley...
However, upon following the instructions below, I'm getting
syntax errors on
the line that has \dontshow...below is my code...I get the
same error if i
omit the first block and just try \dontrun...
\dontshow{
num_reps <- 10
}
\dontrun{
num_reps <- readline(""How many reps do you have... ")
num_reps <- as.integer(num_reps)
}
could this have anything to do with it running on OS X 10.3 ?? (long
shot...but i'm thoroughly lost)..
thanks again,
ken

Try changing the example code to:
\dontshow{
num_reps <- 10
}
\dontrun{
num_reps <- readline("How many reps do you have... ")
num_reps <- as.integer(num_reps)
}

Hi all,
I've got a package i've written that i am trying to
install. This is my 1st time doing this, so apologies in
The package that I've written requires input from the user.
It needs to know
sample sizes and then runs some calcs, (sample sizes are just
integers), and
it gets this info from the user as
num_reps <- readline("How many reps do you have... ")
num_reps <- as.integer(num_reps)
and then loops
for(i in 1:num_reps)
{
#code
}
HOWEVER, I get this error msg when trying to check/build/install:
Error in 1:num_con_biol_reps : NA/NaN argument
Presumably this is because R thinks the variable is never
initialized before
i try to use it as a loop limit...
Anyway around this?? I tried initializing the num_reps
variable in the code
before the readline, but get the same error...
Thanks very much in advance,
Ken
