Hi, I am trying to upload a package to CRAN but keep getting the error message below. The issue seems to be the use of attach in one of my routines. As I explain in the cran-comments.md this use of assign is intentional. The routine paste.data is used by undergraduate student with very little R knowledge to transfer data from moodle quizzes into R. They can simply copy the data in moodle, switch to R and run paste.data(). The data is assigned to the global environment under the name moodledata and can be used to find the solution to the moodle quiz. I have been using this routine with my students for several years without any problems. What do I need to do to get passed this automatic check? Thanks, Wolfgang
