 Hi.
 
 Using Rterm v2.2.1 on WinXP, is there a way to
 interrupt a call like
 
   repeat { readline() }
 
 without killing the Command window?  Ctrl+C is not
 interrupting the loop:

To interupt the loop add and condition for a break
like this :
if () break



 
 R : Copyright 2006, The R Foundation for Statistical
 Computing
 Version 2.2.1 Patched (2006-01-01 r36947)
 snip/snip
 
   repeat { readline() }
 ^C
 ^C
 ^C
 ^C
 
 On Unix it works.  The problem seems to get the
 interrupt signal to 
 occur outside the readline() call so that repeat
 is interrupted. Doing
 
 repeat { readline(); Sys.sleep(3) }
 
 and it is likely that can generate an interrupt
 signal outside readline().
 
 It seem like readline()/readLines(n=1) or an
 underlying method catches 
 the interrupt signal quietly and just waits for a
 symbol to come 
 through.  Try readline() by itself and press Ctrl+C.
  Maybe this is a 
 property of the Windows Command terminal, I don't
 know, but is it a 
 wanted feature and are R core aware of it?  Note
 that, in Rgui it is 
 possible to interrupting such a loop by pressing
 ESC.
 
 Cheers

Use tryCatch; try behaves the way it does with respect to interrupts
for historical compatibility.

Re: [R] repeat { readline() }

2006-01-08 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
Ctrl-Break works: see the rw-FAQ and README.rterm.  (You'll need a return 
to see a new prompt.)

It is related to your reading directly from the console, so Ctrl-C is 
getting sent to the wrong place, I believe.  (There's a comment from Guido 
somewhere in the sources about this, and this seems corroborated by the 
fact that Ctrl-C will interrupt under Rterm --ess.)
