Hello List, When i paste a large block of R code from an editor to the R command line the execution of the code will often fail at some point because it is not pasted as it was copied.
=============================================================== Example: I copied the following block of code (as part of a larger block): .... s$Price <- quote(prices(St, uc=Adjusted, ent=c(Adjusted[-1], NA), xit=c(Adjusted[-1], NA))) s$PnL <- quote(pnl(Price, St)) s$PPnL <- quote(ppnl(Price, St)) s$RoR <- quote(ror(Price, St, delta=1/Price)) t = na.omit(trades(rownames(s), s$Price, s$St)) .... and when i paste this to the R command-line the following happens: .... > s$Price <- quote(prices(St, uc=Adjusted, ent=c(Adjusted[-1], NA), xit=c(Adjusted[-1], NA))) > s$PnL <- quote(pnl(Price, + + s$RoR <- quote(ror(Pr + t = na.omit(trade Error: unexpected symbol in: "s$RoR <- quote(ror(Pr t" .... ================================================================= As you can see from the example it looks like the code was not pasted correctly. If i execute the same block of code with the source() command it runs just fine! Here is the output of my sessionInfo(): > sessionInfo() R version 2.15.3 (2013-03-01) Platform: i486-pc-linux-gnu (32-bit) locale: [1] LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C LC_TIME=nl_NL.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=nl_NL.UTF-8 [6] LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=C LC_NAME=C LC_ADDRESS=C LC_TELEPHONE=C [11] LC_MEASUREMENT=nl_NL.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=C attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] DEoptim_2.2-1 IBrokers_0.9-10 stringr_0.6.2 timeDate_2160.97 PerformanceAnalytics_1.1.0 [6] tradesys_0.1 RUnit_0.4.26 quantmod_0.4-0 TTR_0.22-0 xts_0.9-3 [11] zoo_1.7-9 Defaults_1.1-1 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] grid_2.15.3 lattice_0.20-15 tcltk_2.15.3 tools_2.15.3 Is there anyone who experiences the same problem?
