Re: [R] Error with toString

Romain, to keep it simple, I reproduced the example that you can find in the
toString function help and I still got the same error:
 x - c(a, b, aaa)
 toString(x)
Error in toString(x) : could not find function .jcall

Re: [R] Error with toString

What packages are loaded?  On the basic system, it works fine:

 toString(123)
[1] 123
 toString(c('a', 'b', 'zz'))
[1] a, b, zz

.jcall() is an rJava function. toString() is a base R
function. I'm guessing that you're doing this as part
of some code that involves rJava. In that case
you will have to provide more details.

The example you cite above works perfectly well for me.

Re: [R] Error with toString

Anna,

Try omitting pkg:RBloomberg.
If you really need to use that package, you will have to
install the non-CRAN package RDCOMClient from omegahat.

I still don't see why toString() wouldn't do its job, even
with RBloomberg loaded.

Re: [R] Error with toString

2010-02-02 Thread Peter Ehlers

I don't think that rJava has a toString function. It does use
the function in base. I see a function toString.XMLNode() in
the XML package which is used as toString(x), so maybe that's
where your problem lies; but I didn't see the XML package in
your list of attached packages.

Anyway, here are two suggestions:
1. to answer your question directly: use

 base::toString(x)

to enforce use of that function.

2. try

 methods('toString')

to see what other toString()'s you may have around.

You have another toString function hanging around.
Your result is exactly what I get from methods('toString')
after I define

 toString - function(x) x

You could try

 getAnywhere('toString')

Ok Peter I think you were right about pointing out the RBloomberg package
because here is what I get with getAnywhere('toString'):
2 differing objects matching ‘toString’ were found
in the following places
  package:RBloomberg
  package:base
  namespace:base
Use [] to view one of them
Warning messages:
1: In identical(objs2[[i]], objs2[[j]]) : ignoring non-pairlist attributes
2: In identical(objs2[[i]], objs2[[j]]) : ignoring non-pairlist attributes

Where did you get that syntax from ? You need to use paste.

 paste( name, 20 )
[1] name 20


but it returns me this error:
Error in toString(20) : could not find function .jcall
what did I do wrong? I couldn't find this error anywhere...


.jcall is in rJava, but rJava never calls toString. Can you attach a bit 
more information as requested by the posting guide :

 name  toString(20)
is from Excel or OpenOffice;  means 'logical and' in R, not string
concatenation.

paste() is simpler; sprintf() is more precise as to decimal places and
format.

Yes. I understood that the first time. and I asked you to provide more 
details about your session to help diagnose the problem better. I can 
figure out on my own that you typed it at the console. What I cannot 
figure out is details of your session.


Please read the posting guide, follow it and come back with the details 
if you want someone to help. You might want to read An Introduction to 
R too, because R is nothing like vb.
