Dear Thierry,
Thank you very much for you very useful advice!
I managed to solve my specific problem with this code:
<<echo=FALSE>>=
package <- grep("^package:", search(), value = TRUE)
keep <- sapply(package, function(x) x == "package:base" ||
!is.null(attr(as.environment(x), "path")))
package <- sub("^package:", "", package[keep])
pkgDesc <- lapply(package, packageDescription)
basePkgs <- sapply(pkgDesc, function(x) !is.null(x$Priority) &&
x$Priority == "base")
otherPkgs <- package[!basePkgs]
cite.by.name <- function(x){
res <- toBibtex(citation(x))
if (is.list(res)) res <- res[[1]]
res[1] <- sub("{",paste("{",x,sep=''),res[1],fixed=TRUE)
res
}
# suppressWarnings(cite.by.name("annotate"))
tmp <- sapply( otherPkgs, function(x) try( cite.by.name(x) ) )
for (i in 1:length(tmp)){
capture.output(tmp[[i]], file= "Rpackages.bib", append=T)
}
@
It does work, more or less, but still I need to write manually one by
one \nocite{otherPkgs[[1]]} \nocite{otherPkgs[[2]]} etc.
in order to pop up the references in the Bibliography section
\bibliographystyle{abbrv}
\bibliography{Rpackages}
Any idea how to automate this procedure?
Best Regards,
Paolo

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to
say what the experiment died of.

Onderwerp: [R] Sweave, Bibtex, package references
Dear all,
I'm a big fan and happy user of the Sweave package for routine
reporting.
From inside a .Rnw script, I'd like to produce the references in bibtex
format for each package loaded in the environment, write them in a .bib
file and load them back from the
\bibliography{bibliography} statement.
Is this feasible?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Paolo
