Dear
all,
I have
written some R source program with many thousands of lines. I didn???t insert
line breaks automatically or manually for the long lines. But now I would like
to edit the source code in Emacs/ESS to make it more formal as a package. One of
the major problems here is how to break the long lines automatically. Emacs
auto-fill-mode
only works for the lines you are typing in currently, and fill commands like M-q
(fill-paragraph) or M-x fill-region (fill-region) mess up the R code lines as
they take a whole function/paragraph as a long line, and remove the original
line breaks.
I find
simple solutions for indenting code regions in Emacs/ESS, but no good ones for
breaking code lines. However, I saw the nice multi-line codes in all
R/Bioconductor packages. Please let me know if you have any ideas on how people
usually break the existent long R code lines automatically. I will really
appreciate your kind help!
Not particualrly elegant, but a combination of parse and print will break
long lines:
cat("y <- ",paste( 1:20,collapse=" + "),"\n","y2 <- ",
+ paste( 1:20,collapse="+"),"\n",file="testwrap.R")
for (iexpr in parse("testwrap.R")) print(iexpr)
y <- 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 +
14 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 18 + 19 + 20
y2 <- 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 +
14 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 18 + 19 + 20
nchar(readLines("testwrap.R"))
[1] 95 59
and of course you will want 'sink' or some such to save the lines.
HTH,
