Dear R-users, This question might not be restricted to R, but I hope that some might have experienced similar problems and could help me.
When using R, I usually work with a text-editor (textmate2) in which I prepare the script. To execute code, I then copy and paste it to an R-session running in the terminal/shell (on Mac OS). Unfortunately, when pasting too much code into the terminal (e.g. 60 lines), some characters are occasionally and randomly scrambled or missing. For example "col <- ifelse(..." turns into "col < col < cse(…". This happens very randomly, is difficult to predict, and while it only affects a hand full of characters in total, it leads to a lot of errors in the code execution along the way. Apparently, it has to do with the buffer size and paste-speed of the terminal. So far, I could not find any solution to the problem. Therefore, I wanted to ask; Do others here use a similar workflow (i.e. having a text-editor for coding and using copy/paste to the terminal for code execution) and encountered similar problems with big chunks of code in the clipboard? Are there any solutions for this problem, specifically for running R over the shell? Thank you very much! ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see 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.
