[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

Re: [Rd] dir.create does not return a value (PR#13686)

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? Robert On Sat, May 2, 2009 at 8:27 PM, Sundar Dorai-Raj wrote: > Not a bug. Try: > > print(dir.create("foo")) > > or > > foo

[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): > dir.create(":::@!#!::") > dir.create('b') > session
