Subject: [R] R-code in Latex --- $ sign causes error

hi,

here's what i have:

\lstset{
  basicstyle=\ttfamily,
  keywordstyle=\bfseries,
  showstringspaces=false,
  columns = fullflexible,
  mathescape = true,
 language=R
}

\begin{lstlisting}
lst$val<-val
\end{lstlisting}

./software.tex:16:Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup. lst$

the culprit here is the $ sign.

thanks.

ps:

i'm posting here rather than Latex is bec i guess an R user is more
likely 2
to have encountered this before, but if not ok, pls let me know.

Thanks, but unfortunately

\begin{lstlisting}
\\$
\end{lstlisting}
 and

\begin{lstlisting}
\\\\$
\end{lstlisting}

still generate the same error.

The $ is special in TeX/LaTeX as a shortcut for beginning/ending inline
math mode, so if you want an actual $ then you need to escape it so that the
TeX/LaTeX file has \$ in it.  This means that in your R code that generates
the file you may need \\$ or in some cases \\\\$.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for clarifying. Yes, \$ works in latex, but not *within* the
lstlisting environment.

Greg was referring to what to write in R character literals in order to
generate
a single \ in the output from R which in turn would be fed into latex or
Sweave
and then latex.  Google this: special characters in latex
