?flush.console

... but you'll need to print/message/cat/... explicitly in the
loop, or the output won't be shown.  [Also, options(warn=1) might
be useful.]

[R] refresh.console() function?

2024-03-13 Thread Christofer Bogaso
Hi,

I run a lengthy for loop and I want to display loop status for each
step in my loop.

I previously heard of a R function namely refresh.console() which
would print the status within the loop as it progresses.

However I see this

> help.search("refresh.console")

No vignettes or demos or help files found with alias or concept or

title matching ‘refresh.console’ using regular expression matching.

Could you please help me find the correct function name?

No idea if the package below would work. This package is MSWindows only. Since 
this was readily found using a search engine, you should have mentioned that 
you already found this and why it didn't work for you when you posted.

There's no interface for this in base R. It's always possible to write
some Windows API code to do that and call it from R using .Call()
(SendInput() is relatively easy to use [*]), but that takes effort and
knowledge of C.

What I suggest to do instead is to write an AutoHotKey script, making
use of the Click function [**] and taking arguments from the command
line [***], and then launch that script using system2(). AutoHotKey is
free software (GPLv2), designed specifically to automate other programs
and should be much easier to use correctly than C.

[R] Generating mouse click and hold using R

2024-03-13 Thread Christofer Bogaso
Hi,

I wonder if R can provide any functionality where I need simulate
mouse click in windows machine at certain coordinate on screen and
hold the click for certain seconds e.g. for 5 seconds

Really appreciate if I can have someone suggestion how above can be
simulated with R

Thanks and regards,
