I think it is ESS that is parsing this as a help request (so it can divert it to an ESS buffer). Looks like this is an ESS issue, not an R one. Using ?"agrep " will fail in R, but that seems correct as there is no topic "agrep ". On Fri, 30 May 2008, Tim Hesterberg wrote: By whitespace, I

This isn't particularly helpful because the book is quite old but formula notation/functionality is covered in depth in "Statistical Models in S" by Chambers and Hastie. My guess is that there is strong consistency between what is said in there and how things work in R. On Fri, May 30, 20

My conception of how NAMESPACE and methods in R-2.7.0 resolved a generic 'func' to a func-method was to search as follows: In 2.7.0: func --> NAMESPACE, including Imports: (and other details) --> .GlobalEnv, and eventually Depends: since these are on search() In R-devel it seems like fu

We don't know how to reproduce this: 'whitespace' is not specific enough. R's tokenizer breaks input at spaces, so a space would never be part of that expression. And tabs don't even get to the parser in interactive use, and you cannot mean a newline. So exactly what do you mean by 'whitespa
