Hello all: I'm trying to use the following code to get commands, comments and results to a .txt file. It only appears to capture comments. When I comment those out with #, it creates a NULL file. Someone seemed to have a similar problem with a mac GUI (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2010-September/253177.html) but the result seemed to be ambiguous. Is there a work-around? Reproducible code and sessioninfo are below. The OS is Mac OS 10.6.8. Yours truly, Simon Kiss install.packages("HSAUR") library(HSAUR) library(TeachingDemos) data("Forbes2000", package="HSAUR") #This is a test of R output for the blind txtStart('test.txt', commands=TRUE, results=TRUE) txtComment('This command provides the mean profit in the data set') mean(Forbes2000$profits, na.rm=TRUE) txtComment('This command provides the standard deviation of the profits data set') sd(Forbes2000$profits, na.rm=TRUE) txtComment('This command provides the average profit by country') aggregate(Forbes2000$profits, by=list(Forbes2000$country), function(x) mean(x, na.rm=TRUE)) txtStop() SessionInfo() R version 2.13.2 (2011-09-30) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0/x86_64 (64-bit) locale: [1] en_CA.UTF-8/en_CA.UTF-8/C/C/en_CA.UTF-8/en_CA.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] TeachingDemos_2.7 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] tools_2.13.2
txtStart creates a NULL file

Like others in the referenced thread, I can reproduce this on Mac OS X 10.5.8 with R 2.14.1 using R.app but it works just fine from the Terminal CLI so it's likely something in the GUI rather than R itself: I'll forward this to R-SIG-Mac and see if Simon (Urbanek) picks it up. Michael

Interestingly, this is a bug in R: R_ReplDLLdo1() fails to invoke top-level handlers (txtStart uses top-level handler to collect values of expressions but the handler is never called). This may be a one-liner fix but I'll have to double-check tomorrow since changes in the REPL code tend to have bad consequences. Thanks, Simon
