I've seen that thread. Given the way R use has increased over the last three and a half years I thought it not unlikely that somebody might have taken a stab at this again. -Original Message- From: Charles C. Berry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 27, 2007 3:44 PM To: Andy B

[Rd] Suggestion: Add simpleExit condition

2007-08-27 Thread Henrik Bengtsson
Hi, I would like to bring up and old suggestion [http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/devel/06/03/4512.html] of adding an exit condition, so that for instance it is possible to silently exit from scripts and Rd examples similar to return() for functions, e.g. \examples{ require("foo") || exit("Examp

Re: [Rd] silent option in nested calls to try()

2007-08-27 Thread Luke Tierney
Your best option is to contact the author of the software and ask them to use silent = TRUE or try to play some games with output capture. try() is an old interface that has been reimplemented on top of tryCatch. It could be modified to, for example, use message(), which would then allow messages

[Rd] fix for broken largefile seek() on 32-bit linux (PR#9883)

Full_Name: John Brzustowski Version: R-devel-trunk, R-2.4.0 OS: linux Submission from: (NULL) (206.248.132.197) DESCRIPTION seek() on files larger than 2 gigabytes fails for large values of "where" on i386 linux 2.6.13 (and presumably other 32-bit unix-like platforms). e.g.: > f<-file("3gigaby

Dear Luke, thank you very much for your immediate answer. The problem I see is, however, that while one can rewrite ones outer code using tryCatch, one may not have control over the use of try in a given inner function. Thomas Luke Tierney wrote: > Yes. If you want finer control use tryCatc

[Rd] silent option in nested calls to try()

2007-08-27 Thread Thomas Petzoldt
Hello, is it *really intentional* that the "silent" option of try() does only apply to the outer call in nested try constructs? I would assume that a silent try() should suppress all error messages regardless where they occur, even if they are already handled with other try()'s. The error mess
