[R] Program Saving
Hi, I have a very simple question. If a want to save a whole program (say more than 5 command lines), how can I proceed without each time using the command history (that allow me to recall previously saved command, but which is to long if you want to recall more than 5 command lines), or without saving to a text file and use copy/paste when I open a new R session (but in fact this doesn't work since when you copy your program to a text file, you copy the or the + , and when you paste it back to a new R command sheet, you get syntax error since you now have double () and double + (++) at each line. Do they have something simple like in any other program, that consist of saving the command sheet under say Program X. Program X will become a simple file that I can reopened any time I want and each time I open it, I will have in front of me all the previous saved command, (including error, I don't care), in order that I don't have to recall anything when the program X is opened.

Please wrap your text to something like 80 character per line... Copy/paste works very well. Instead of copying from your R session over to a text editor, why don't you do it the other way round? i.e. type your R codes in your favourite editor, THEN copy/paste into R. That way you don't get any syntax error, and you have all your R codes saved into one file. There are several good tools. (X)Emacs/ESS is one of them (and it's the one I prefer). For beginners there is RWinEdt (a plugin, written by Uwe Ligges, for WinEdt). Both allows direct communication from the editor to R HTH. -- Cheers, Kevin --- Try not. Do, do! Or do not.
