[R] how to update R files included assource ?

2010-03-29 Thread arnaud chozo
Hi all,

I have a main file main.R in which I include some other R files. For
example, in main.R I have: source(functions.R).
When I modify the file functions.R, I'd like R to take into account the
changes and to reload the file functions.R when I run main.R
Is it possible?

Thanks,
Arnaud

I don't understand.

You source a functions.R file from main.R. When you run main.R, 
whatever is in the functions.R file will be sourced.


What is happening that is different than you expect?

Hi,

I'm afraid I really don't have time to enter into a dialogue :-{ but this 
fragment from a function of mine might help...
--
  outfile - sub(Rd$, html, hfile, ignore.case=TRUE)  # name of 
corresponding html
  out.mod - file.info(outfile)[,mtime]  # if html absent or needs 
updating
  if (is.na(out.mod)||file.info(hfile)[,mtime]  out.mod) 
tools::Rd2HTML(hfile, outfile, .Package) # do it
---
The third line (inter alia) checks the modification time of the 'target' 
file and decides whether to process it.

Hope that helps,

Keith J

source again, and you old definitions will be overwritten.
