I needed to clean someone else code and run it through tidy.source. It
encountered a number of hangups which after some experimentation lead me to
suspect that the culprit is # symbol when it is a part of literal string. For
example if i copy the following to the clipboard

John, thanks for your reply. Batch job fails always. I tried running
interactively at the same time as batch tries and at different times.
Interactively, job always works. I set log level to "finest", but it didn't

I am having a puzzling problem with bloomberg connection. When i run from R
prompt some code that has
library(Rbbg)
conn <- blpConnect(throw.ticker.errors = FALSE)
print("connected")

I started to look at ways to improve times of certain very parallel tasks and
thought that foreach should be a valid candidate to do the job.
So, i opened foreach tutorial by Steve Weston and started timing examples from
it. First example from tutorial is
>system.time(for(i in 1:10) sqrt(i
I took a look at Hadley's lubridate which seems a very neat package, but i am
having a small problem with concatenating lubridates to build vectors of it.
Namely when function c( ) is applied to lubridate seems to change time to a
local timezone in this particular case changing the date to pre

I asked my local java export and his reply was that the driver was compiled
with the later version of java that i need to install. I did install it in
parallel to existing java and changed JAVA_HOME variable to point to new
java directory. I also pre-pended PATH with path to java. Still, when i tr

Hi, everyone. I am using a fair amount of closures in my code. Problem i am
experiencing is i cannot figure out how to mtrace functions defined within a
function. There must be some way to name such function for mtrace to see it
and let me step into it. For example, say i have code
mymodel<-func
