[Rd] Workspace Browser doesn't refresh (PR#13684)
Full_Name: Payam Minoofar Version: R 2.9.0 GUI 1.28 Tiger build 32-bit (5395) OS: 10.5.6 Submission from: (NULL) (173.51.1.126) Hi, This bug happens when I have the workspace browser open, then issue the "clear workspace" command from the "workspace" menu, and then click the "refresh" button in the workspace browser. All the objects in the workspace persist in the browser even though the console echoes "empty workspace, nothing to be done". The same behavior persists if I manually remove an object via the console with rm. Payam __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel

[Rd] dir.create does not return a value (PR#13686)
?dir.create (part of the base package) says that:
"dir.create and Sys.chmod return a logical vector indicating which
operation succeeded for each of the files attempted"
However, on my system it returns nothing (whether successful or not):

Not a bug. Try:
print(dir.create("foo"))
or
foo <- dir.create("foo")
foo

However, there is a bug in ?dir.create:
"'dir.create' indicates failure if the dirwctory already exiss."

Re: [Rd] dir.create does not return a value (PR#13686)
Thanks, I am not sure if this is desirable (a function returning a
value only when 'asked' to do so), but I am intrigued. How can one put
such behaviour in an R function?

Re: [Rd] dir.create does not return a value (PR#13686)
Robert,
The function always returns a value, but it doesn't print the value.
Look at the source code for dir.create(), then read ?invisible.
Best,
Josh

[Rd] set.seed and /dev/random
Hello, In ?set.seed I notice that a seed is created from the system time. Thus if two machines were (hypothetically) running for the same time and R was started simultaneously on both, the would have the same seeds (correct?). I assume reading from /dev/random would be different for both of these machines, so my question is why not use an integer read from /dev/random to create the seed? Would it be a portability issue? I must admit I have very little idea about RNGs, so my question is possibly very naive. Thank you Saptarshi __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
