You probably hit a buffer limit in X11/xterm on your ubuntu machine with copy and paste. I get that behavior with Putty using your vector or when pasting (long) commands into Putty.
If you really prefer copy and paste for this vector then try something like > eval(parse(text=scan("clipboard", what=""))) Read 2357 items > head(p1x) [1] 2 1 0 0 0 7 > tail(p1x) [1] 0 0 5 0 4 0 Otherwise you can save your code and source() the file. There is also ESS (Emacs Speaks Statistics) and friends if you want to avoid copy/paste approach. BTW you can use Ctrl-C to get back to command prompt in your R console rather than typing "q" in your output below. > -----Original Message----- > From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-bounces@r- > project.org] On Behalf Of angeloimm > Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 9:04 AM > To: r-help@r-project.org > Subject: Re: [R] R strange behaviour when building huge concatenation > > Hello John > It seems correct to me too but in my R console it seems to not be > working > Here there is what I did: > i copied the statement on one row (leaving and removing the final > useless > semi colomn) > i tried to execute it in the R console (in order to open my R console I > simply opened a terminal window on my ubuntu machine and I typed "R") > when I click "enter" the inserted statement doesn't not run...I simply > see > the cursor on a new line and this new line starts with "+" > > Here there is a little stack of what I see on my terminal: > , 1, 1, 2, 2, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 17, 2, 2, > 0, > 2, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3, 0, 1, 0, > 0, > 1, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 7, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 2, > 4, > 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 1, 0, 4, 2, 0, 0, 1, 3, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, > 0, > 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 3, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 3, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 2, > 0, > 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 3, 0, 4, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 3, 0, 0, > 0, > 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 3, 0, 6, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0, 2, 5, > 0, > 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 2, 0, 1, 2, 0, 0, 7, 0, 0, 2, 0, 2, 2, 0, 0, 0, > 0, > 0, 2, 0, 8, 0, 0, 5, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 3, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 2, > 1, > 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 2, 0, 0, 1, 0, 2, 0, > 0, > 3, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 9, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 2, 0, 1, > 1, > 1, 0, 0, 0, 2, 6, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, > 0, > 1, 4, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 2, 0, 1, 0, > 0, > 6, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 2, 6, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 7, 0, 1, 2, 1, 1, > 1, > 0, 0, 1, 5, 0, 1, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 5, 1, > 0, > 1, 2, 0, 0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 0, 2, 0, 1, 2, 7, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 5, 0, 4, 0)) > + > + > + > + > + > > Each time i click enter i go on a new line starting with "+" > Then if i start in tying some character I get an error like this: > > + > + > + q > + > + q > Errore: unexpected symbol in: > " > q" > > Sometimes this error (Errore: unexpected symbol in:) appears in the > statement execution > > Here there are my sessionInfo() result: > > sessionInfo() > R version 2.14.1 (2011-12-22) > Platform: i686-pc-linux-gnu (32-bit) > > locale: > [1] LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C > [3] LC_TIME=it_IT.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=it_IT.UTF-8 > [5] LC_MONETARY=it_IT.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=it_IT.UTF-8 > [7] LC_PAPER=C LC_NAME=C > [9] LC_ADDRESS=C LC_TELEPHONE=C > [11] LC_MEASUREMENT=it_IT.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=C > > attached base packages: > [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base > > > I really don't know why this happens....above all because it seems to > me a > very very simple statement... > Thank to all you for the support > > > > > -- > View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/R-strange- > behaviour-when-building-huge-concatenation-tp4650817p4650970.html > Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting- > guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
