Harold, I've taken a closer look at your example and I'd call this an Sweave bug. It creates tempfiles each time you run it, and doesn't delete them at the end. For example:
> list.files(tempdir()) character(0) > testfile <- system.file("Sweave", "Sweave-test-1.Rnw", package = "utils") > Sweave(testfile, out="junk.tex") Writing to file junk.tex Processing code chunks ... 1 : print term verbatim 2 : term hide 3 : echo print term verbatim 4 : term verbatim 5 : echo term verbatim 6 : echo term verbatim eps pdf 7 : echo term verbatim eps pdf You can now run LaTeX on 'junk.tex' > list.files(tempdir()) [1] "Rf10523" "Rf13872" "Rf17129" "Rf2055" "Rf2203" "Rf2403" "Rf27095" [8] "Rf2892" "Rf31415" "Rf5290" "Rf6251" "Rf6482" "Rf7055" "Rf724" > Sweave(testfile, out="C:/temp/junk.tex") Writing to file C:/temp/junk.tex Processing code chunks ... 1 : print term verbatim 2 : term hide 3 : echo print term verbatim 4 : term verbatim 5 : echo term verbatim 6 : echo term verbatim eps pdf 7 : echo term verbatim eps pdf You can now run LaTeX on 'C:/temp/junk.tex' > list.files(tempdir()) [1] "Rf10523" "Rf12679" "Rf1311" "Rf13484" "Rf13872" "Rf17129" "Rf17288" [8] "Rf2055" "Rf21774" "Rf2203" "Rf23417" "Rf2403" "Rf27095" "Rf2892" [15] "Rf29444" "Rf31128" "Rf31415" "Rf32520" "Rf3338" "Rf5290" "Rf5551" [22] "Rf6251" "Rf6482" "Rf7055" "Rf724" "Rf7543" "Rf758" "Rf7673" > unlink(list.files(tempdir(),full=T)) > list.files(tempdir()) character(0) Harold: a workaround for this would be to wrap your Sweave call in something like this: keep <- list.files(tempdir(), full=TRUE) # keep previous temp files ... Call Sweave here ... temps <- list.files(tempdir(), full=TRUE) unlink(temps[!(temps %in% keep)]) # delete the newly created ones ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
