Hi, The list.files() function seems to order its result vector differently when is run during R CMD INSTALL. Here is an example: ~% mkdir ~/FOO ~% cd ~/FOO/ ~/FOO% touch a A b B ~/FOO% ls a A b B
Put foo.R in the vor package. The foo.R just prints the files in ~/FOO: print(list.files("~/FOO")) Now install the package: ~/FOO% R CMD INSTALL -l ~/R/library/ ~/src/vor/ * Installing *source* package 'vor' ... ** libs make: `vor.so' is up to date. ** R ** preparing package for lazy loading [1] "A" "B" "a" "b" ** help >>> Building/Updating help pages for package 'vor' Formats: text html latex example * DONE (vor) Note that the files are listed as: [1] "A" "B" "a" "b" Now start an R session > list.files("~/FOO") [1] "a" "A" "b" "B" which differs in order from that in R CMD INSTALL. > version _ platform x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu arch x86_64 os linux-gnu system x86_64, linux-gnu status major 2 minor 0.1 year 2004 month 11 day 15 language R Thanks, Vadim ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
