Problem sourcing file

Hi all,

I created a file to define some functions. When I try to source this file,
sometimes it works but sometimes I get the following error:

Source(?File.R?)
Those aren't proper quotes, and source() shouldn't be capitalized, and 
you didn't tell us what version of R you are using.

Duncan Murdoch

Error in srcfilecopy(filename, lines, file.info(filename)[1, "mtime"]) :

   unused argument(s) (file.info(filename)[1, "mtime"])

It works when I just started the R session, but after using some libraries
when I do the source of the file again, I get this error. I can not really
follow what steps aret he ones that bring me to the error, I only know that
sometimes it appears. Does someone know the possible cause?

Thanks!

Marta

They look like directional quotes to me.  Might just be the mailer...

Those were *directed* quotes.

Ah, my default font makes that distinction too subtle. Action item for me, then, to change fonts.

Hi all,
I have the exact same problem in R 2.14.0, which does not seem to be due
to using the quotation mark. When I say
source("~/Documents/myFile.R")
for the first time (after I start R), it works fine, but when I run it
for a second time (even when I empty the workspace and rerun every
thing, just like the first time), it returns the exact same error, i.e.,

Error in srcfilecopy(filename, lines, file.info
<http://file.info>(filename)[1, "mtime"]) :
   unused argument(s) (file.info <http://file.info>(filename)[1, "mtime"])

Can you please help?
You should upgrade to the current release, or at least to 2.14.2.

Duncan Murdoch
The source function is quite convenient for invoking a set of R commands that have already been debugged. It is pretty worthless for troubleshooting. You need to step through those commands one at a time, then do it again, to see which command triggers this error.

My response to the last version of this query stands... what is in "~/Documents/myFile.R"?

source() is fine for troubleshooting:  just use the echo=TRUE option, 
and you'll see when it fails.  In 2.15.0-patched, it can even report the 
line of the source file that caused the problem.

Reza was bitten by a bug in 2.14.0, that's all.
