hi
I am seeing a strange behavior I can't understand... doing:
> source("/tmp/RFile.r",echo=TRUE)
Error in rep.int(c(prompt.echo, continue.echo), c(leading, length(dep) - :
invalid 'times' value
> traceback()
3: rep.int(c(prompt.echo, continue.echo), c(leading, length(dep) -
leading))
2: paste(rep.int(c(prompt.echo, continue.echo), c(leading, length(dep) -
leading)), dep, sep = "", collapse = "\n")
1: source("/tmp/RFile.r", echo = TRUE)
>
But the file I am trying to source is very simple... see:
$ more /tmp/RFile.r

Any idea where it can come from? It works fine when echo=FALSE... I am
using R 2.12, on Ubuntu Linux 10.4 (R from CRAN), full session info
below. Should I rather send this to r-devel?
Thanks a lot

note this is not a systematic problem, but can't say exactly when/why it

It sounds like you have some invalid expressions. Dump out the values of 'leading' and 'length(dep) - leading'. Learn some simple debugging techniques. One is to set options(error=utils::recover) so that on the error you can use the browser to examine what the values are. On Mon, Jan 24, 2011 at 12:07 PM, Matthieu Stigler

Check getOption("prompt.echo") and getOption("continue") and try
different values for the prompt.echo= and continue.echo= arguments of
source. I am able to get your times error by using source("myfile.R",
echo = TRUE, continue.echo = NULL)

Put a space after the # in the line
#line 516
to avoid the problem. A similar problem also
appears in parse().
> parse(text="#line 102\nlog(pi)\n")
Error in `Encoding<-`(`*tmp*`, value = character(0)) :
'value' must be of positive length

There is no such version, but this looks like a bug that was fixed in 2.12.1. Are you using 2.12.0? (I might be wrong about the timing of the fix; if you're using 2.12.1, try 2.12.1-patched.) Duncan Murdoch

Hi Well this is the output of str(dep) on a small example: str(dep) chr [1:8] "###################################################" ... Browse[1]> dep [1] "###################################################" [2] "### chunk number 1:" [3] "###################################################" [4] "#line 516 \"VolStocksDec2010.Rnw\"" [5] "path<-\"~/Dropbox/FAO/Papers/Volatility only\"" [6] "pathMarkov<-\"~/Dropbox/FAO/Markov Model/\"" [7] "library(zoo)" [8] "" it seems quite accurate... I guess the problem comes form leading... even if this smaller example, it is still the same number (516) as in the test with bigger source doc... Can you reproduce this on your machine? I can reproduce it on two Linux buntu 10.4, R 2.12.1 ... Thanks!! Le 24. 01. 11 19:18, jim holtman a ?crit :

ok, thanks Jim The problem comes from length(dep)<leading, so we get negative number...
length(dep)
[1] 183 c(leading, length(dep) - leading) [1] 516 -333 But 183 seems to be the right number: $ wc -l /tmp/RFile.r 183 /tmp/RFile.r So now need to understand what is this "dep", and why it has a bigger length... tried to check source code (:-)) but could not get it... any idea? Thanks a lot Matthieu Le 24. 01. 11 18:29, jim holtman a ?crit :
It sounds like you have some invalid expressions. Dump out the values of 'leading' and 'length(dep) - leading'. Learn some simple debugging techniques. One is to set options(error=utils::recover) so that on the error you can use the browser to examine what the values are.

There is no such version, but this looks like a bug that was fixed in 2.12.1. Are you using 2.12.0? (I might be wrong about the timing of the fix; if you're using 2.12.1, try 2.12.1-patched.)
Indeed 2.12.1, sorry for imprecision! I will give a try to 2.12.1-patched, although I am not so sure how I can install it (should I compile) on linux... thanks!!

It is known now. The problem arises while printing the output of parse because the srcref attribute contains the numbers from those #line <number> entries and the printing routine gets confused if the numbers are out of the range 1 through the number of lines of text.

If you have
the 'options' set as I suggested, you can do this
examination when the
error occurs. On Mon, Jan 24, 2011 at 12:41 PM, Matthieu Stigler <matthieu.stigler at gmail.com> wrote:
