Thanks, I will look into ways to tell ess/emacs to use such options. I am, however, quite sure that I have never answered yes to the question when quitting R. Cheers Jannis On 13.08.2013 20:21, MacQueen, Don wrote: R --no-save __

Well, I have made some tests with the 'no save' option. This only seems to control the saving of .RData files (at least none appeared in the working directory in my tests). A file called .RHistory is still created. I can now put some code to delete this file in .Last function but somehow I

OK, this seems to be only a problem when I use emacs/ess. I will try to find a solution to this but this does not seem to be related to emacs. In case anyone of you has an Idea: I use: (setq inferior-R-args --no-save --no-restore --silent) to start R, but still a .RHistory file is saved.

A look at ?history shows an environment variable that might help you restrict it to just one central .Rhistory file. -Don -- Don MacQueen Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory 7000 East Ave., L-627 Livermore, CA 94550 925-423-1062 On 8/14/13 7:15 AM, Jannis bt_jan...@yahoo.de wrote: OK,

[R] getting rid of .Rhistory and .RData

2013-08-13 Thread Jannis
Dear R users, occasionally I find .Rhistory and/or .RData files cluttered around in my file structure. Is there a way to tell R not to save such files? Or to use one central location where to save them (if they are of any use)? I have looked through options() to no avail. Cheers Jannis
