Hi guys,
My concern is to create an automated process from the beginning to the end. I
want to copy all my code together in one piece and paste it to R console and
sit
back and relax :) except one moment in which the program should ask me to enter
a number.. and only then (only after getting a valid number from me) it should
continue to read and process the rest of the code. I tried lots of things
(readline, readLines, scan, interactive, ask, switch,...) and read manuals and
searched help forums.. I found several similar questions but never a satisfying
answer.. so now it became a challenge.. any idea how to overcome this problem
(R
2.11.1 for Windows)? (an example code is below)
Best,
Fatih
library(gtools)
library(YaleToolkit)
library(xts)
### start of my wrong function!
f<-function(w){
w<-readline("which data? ")
w<-as.numeric(w)
ifelse(is.numeric(w)=="TRUE", w, f())
}
f()
##### end of my wrong function
v<- ## and output of my function should be a "v" for example which I can use it
in the next line (v<-w or something like that??)
##the rest works fine
p<-paste("t", v, ".txt", sep = "")
t<-read.table(p, header=FALSE, sep="\t", dec=",",
blank.lines.skip=FALSE)
rownames(t)<-as.Date(t[,1],"%d.%m.%Y")
colnames(t)<-c("date","start","high","low","end","w.average","lot",
"volume")
x<-as.xts(t)
whatis(x)
