Hi, I'm looking for a parser of the plain text NEWS format (not the NEWS.Rd format) - ideally the same on that is used by R itself. Does anyone know which that one is / of such at tool? Thanks...

Could someone please confirm/refute that Rprof(..., memory.profiling=TRUE) can also be used to profile memory allocation done in a C function (src/*.c) that uses, e.g. allocVector(INTSXP, n) but also allocations such as R_alloc(n...

Hi, several image file format supports textual/meta data comments in one way or the other. For me an obvious usage would be to add sessionInfo() information to PNG and PDF image files, ideally from within R although external tools...

It's been a while since I worked with experimental packages. Where can I find documentation on how to (Subversion) update our AffymetrixDataTestFiles package with additional data files? All I know is that the SVN repository only contains a stub...

In Section 'Localization of messages' of R Installation and Administration (R 3.3.2), it says: "R can be built without support for translations, but it is enabled by default." How can this be done? Is this an option to...

I know it is fairly easy to implement (though not always well defined), but is there an existing sort function out there that takes alphanum strings and sort them in a "human" fashion? For example, instead of: z1.doc z10...

Hi, I'd like to list all package PkgA functions that another package PkgB use via Depends or Imports (ignoring Suggests for simplicity). As long as PkgB uses importFrom("PkgA", ...) it's just a matter of parsing the NAMESPACE file...

For affxparser, we've got the following in DESCRIPTION: URL: https://github.com/HenrikBengtsson/affxparser BugReports: https://github.com/HenrikBengtsson/affxparser/issues But t's only the URL field that is listed on the package page(s): http://www.bioconductor...

Hi, at the R prompt, is it possible to retrieve the last error (as in condition object of class "error")? I'm not asking for geterrmessage(), which only returns the error message (as a character string). I'm basically looking...

Full_Name: Henrik Bengtsson Version: 1.3.1 OS: WinMe Submission from: (NULL) (130.235.2.229) I suggest the following \seealso to be added for savehistory: \seealso{ To execute \code{savehistory} automatically when \R quits see \link{.Last} and...

Hi, right now it is actually a bit tricky to locate and view the NEWS and the CHANGES files, especially if you are a beginning and don't even know that you are supposed to look for them. I'd...

On MS Windows 10, the following works: > Rscript --vanilla -e "\"abc\"" [1] "abc" and also: > Rterm --vanilla --no-echo -e "\"abc.txt\"" [1] "abc.txt" whereas attempting the same with 'R' fails; > R --vanilla --no-echo -e "\"abc.txt\"" Error...

I'm interested in finding out what customization Bioconductor servers do to R CMD check, e.g. _R_CHECK_***_ settings. I think someone pointed me to some location in the past, but I cannot locate it. I think a natural...

See ll() in the R.oo package. /Henrik On 9/27/06, Ben Fairbank <BEN at ssanet.com> wrote: > Does R provide a function analogous to LS() or str() that reports the > storage space, on disk or in memory, required...

Off topic, but since I've observe both styles, does anyone know the history behind/reason for using ## instead of a single # to start comments in R. I know some editors do this by default. Is it because in C...

In order to clarify that getAnywhere(str) where str is a character string object, will look for object with name "str" and not the value of 'str', I suggest the following Rd updated for utils::getAnywhere(): Update the argument list...

Same in R v2.2.1 patched (2006-01-01 r36947) and Rv2.3.0 (2006-01-01 r36947). /Henrik Thomas Steiner wrote: > options(chmhelp=TRUE) > help(package=fCalendar) > > does not open teh windows help browser, but > > help(CalendarData, package...

If base::solve.default() is called with a 'qr' object, the following will take place: if(inherits(a, "qr")) { warning("solve.default called with a \"qr\" object: use 'qr.solve'") return(solve.qr(a, b, tol)) } Note how the warning...

Contrary to, say, Sys.setenv(), Sys.setlocale() returns it's value visibly. This means that if you for instance add: Sys.setlocale("LC_COLLATE", "C") to your .Rprofile file, it will print: [1] "C" at startup. The workaround is to...

Hi, if the web server supports it, may I suggest to create a "virtual" (Unix-like) link so that, say, http://www.bioconductor.org/download/bioc-release/ always points to the latest stable release, e.g. http://www.bioconductor.org...
