Thanks Duncan. Awesome ideas! I think we're getting closer!
I tried what you suggested and got a possibly better error... . . . rConnection.assign("boxMVariable", myDf); String resultBV = "str(boxMVariable)"; // your suggestion. RESULTING ERROR: Error in format.default(nam.ob, width = max(ncn), justify = "left") : invalid 'width' argument (No idea what this means). For testing, I'm using the same standard IRIS dataset as the Box's M documentation shows in biotools: Examples data(iris) boxM(iris[, -5], iris[, 5]) ------- Now, in the debugger, the built values of myDf are these: myDf = {org.rosuda.REngine.REXPGenericVector@562} "org.rosuda.REngine.REXPGenericVector@17d99928+[5]” ▼ payload = {org.rosuda.REngine.RList@566} size = 5 ► 0 = {org.rosuda.REngine.REXPDouble@570} "org.rosuda.REngine.REXPDouble@6fffcba5[150]" ► 1 = {org.rosuda.REngine.REXPDouble@571} "org.rosuda.REngine.REXPDouble@34340fab[150]” ► 2 = {org.rosuda.REngine.REXPDouble@572} "org.rosuda.REngine.REXPDouble@2aafb23c[150]" ► 3 = {org.rosuda.REngine.REXPDouble@573} "org.rosuda.REngine.REXPDouble@2b80d80f[150]” ► 4 = {org.rosuda.REngine.REXPString@574} "org.rosuda.REngine.REXPString@3ab39c39[150]” Does this help? Please let me know what else I can try.
