Re: [R] Hmisc latex function
Paul,
I believe that the bug has been fixed in the CVS version of latex(), but
it has not yet made its way to an updated version of Hmisc on CRAN from
what I can see.
You can get the updated version of latex() from:
http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/Hmisc/R/latex.s
Click on the 'download' link for version 1.14 at the top of the page.
You can save the updated code to a text file and then source() it into a
R session for the time being.
HTH,
Marc Schwartz

I get the same results, also on FC4 with R 2.2.0.
I am cc:ing Frank here for his input, but a quick review of the code and
created files suggests that there may be conflict between the locations
of some of the resultant files during the latex system call. Some files
appear in a temporary R directory, while others appear in the current R

H, It works for me. Interesting.
It almost looks like the temp dir is not being created, but thats not
possible because R does that. It might be a Unicode issue with you

By default, sQuote and dQuote provide undirectional ASCII quotation

are used.
The See Also points to shQuote for quoting OS commands.

It's a Unicode issue alright. dQuote is intended for textual output,
and in UTF-8 locales it will use Unicode codepoints 0x201c and 0x201d,
which the shell is not expected to make head or tails of.
The help page would have told you, and pointed you to shQuote() as
well...

I've had similar problems latex() which I tracked down to dQuote() that
I think are related to unicode and locales on Ubuntu 5.04. I think the
problem is with Ubuntu (because I get funny little boxes now and then
with various applications), but have not managed to get my head around
unicode sufficiently well to be able to write a sensible post about this
or work out how to fix it. My current way of getting around this in R is
to change the locale:
Sys.getlocale()
[1]
LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8;LC_COLLATE=en_GB.UTF-8;LC_MONETARY=en_GB.UTF-8;LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.UTF-8;LC_PAPER=C;LC_NAME=C;LC_ADDRESS=C;LC_TELEPHONE=C;LC_MEASUREMENT=C;LC_IDENTIFICATION=C
tempdir()
[1] /tmp/RtmpWL64Z2
dQuote(tempdir())
[1] â/tmp/RtmpWL64Z2â [I get funny little boxes here]
Sys.setlocale(LC_CTYPE, C)
[1] C
Sys.getlocale()
[1]

I get the same results, also on FC4 with R 2.2.0.
I am cc:ing Frank here for his input, but a quick review of the code and
created files suggests that there may be conflict between the locations
of some of the resultant files during the latex system call. Some files
appear in a temporary R directory, while others appear in the current R
working directory.
For example, if I enter the full filename:
/tmp/RtmpC12100/file643c9869.tex
at the latex prompt, I get:
latex(x)
sh: line 0: cd: “/tmp/RtmpC12100”: No such file or directory

H, It works for me. Interesting.
It almost looks like the temp dir is not being created, but thats not
possible because R does that. It might be a Unicode issue with you
system shell. Can you run this statement in R
sys(paste('cd',dQuote(tempdir()),;,
echo Hello BOB test.test,
;,cat test.test))
What version of Hmisc are you using? What local are you using?
Charles
Hmisc version 3.0-7, Dated 2005-09-15, which is the latest according to
CRAN.
sys(paste('cd',dQuote(tempdir()),;,
+ echo Hello BOB test.test,
+ ;,cat test.test))
sh: line 0: cd: “/tmp/RtmpGY5553”: No such file or directory
[1] Hello BOB
From a bash console:
$ cd /tmp/RtmpGY5553
$ pwd
/tmp/RtmpGY5553
$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8

LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ALL=
On the creation of the sys() call, it looks like the backquotes are
causing the problem:
paste('cd',dQuote(tempdir()))
[1] cd “/tmp/RtmpGY5553”
From a bash shell:
$ cd “/tmp/RtmpGY5553”
bash: cd: “/tmp/RtmpGY5553”: No such file or directory
$ cd /tmp/RtmpGY5553
$ pwd
/tmp/RtmpGY5553
According to ?dQuote:
By default, sQuote and dQuote provide undirectional ASCII quotation
style. In a UTF-8 locale (see l10n_info), the Unicode directional quotes
are used.
The See Also points to shQuote for quoting OS commands.

It's a Unicode issue alright. dQuote is intended for textual output,
and in UTF-8 locales it will use Unicode codepoints 0x201c and 0x201d,
which the shell is not expected to make head or tails of.
The help page would have told you, and pointed you to shQuote() as
well...
Well There be the problem.
First I have heard about shQuote. When I last looked at the help file
it didn't have the shQuote entry.
For a temporary fix source the attached file after loading the Hmisc
library. I will fix this in source for the next version.
