Something is amiss with the mechanism that recalls the last command when the user hits the up-arrow key in the R.app GUI listener:
> formatC(0.0059999, digits=2,format="fg",flag="#") [1] "0.0060" > ## Hit the up-arrow to recall last command - > ## note that not all of the command appears > formatC(0.0059999, digits=2,format="fg",flag=" Looks as if some code needs to be added to differentiate # outside of quotes as a comment character from # inside quotes as a portion of a character string, which I'll respectfully ask more talented programmers than myself to fix in their copious spare time, with many thanks in advance. > sessionInfo() R version 2.7.0 (2008-04-22) powerpc-apple-darwin8.10.1 locale: en_CA.UTF-8/en_CA.UTF-8/C/C/en_CA.UTF-8/en_CA.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] lme4_0.999375-14 Matrix_0.999375-9 lattice_0.17-6 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] grid_2.7.0 > R.app GUI 1.24 (5102), S.Urbanek & S.M.Iacus, © R Foundation for Statistical Computing, 2008 It works in a Mac terminal shell R session > formatC(0.0059999, digits=2,format="fg",flag="#") [1] "0.0060" > ## Hit the up-arrow to recall last command - > ## all of the command appears > formatC(0.0059999, digits=2,format="fg",flag="#") [1] "0.0060" > sessionInfo() R version 2.7.0 (2008-04-22) powerpc-apple-darwin8.10.1 locale: en_CA.UTF-8/en_CA.UTF-8/C/C/en_CA.UTF-8/en_CA.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base > and inside an Emacs ESS inferior buffer running R > formatC(0.0059999, digits=2,format="fg",flag="#") [1] "0.0060" > formatC(0.0059999, digits=2,format="fg",flag="#") [1] "0.0060" > sessionInfo() R version 2.7.0 (2008-04-22) powerpc-apple-darwin8.10.1 locale: C attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices datasets utils methods base other attached packages: [1] lattice_0.17-6 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] Matrix_0.999375-9 grid_2.7.0 lme4_0.999375-14 nlme_3.1-88 > Best Steve McKinney _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
