Thanks. So there is no solution, other than avoiding fix() and edit()?
What would then be the recommended way to make visible and inspect large
data.frames (i.e. that are to big for sensibly displaying on the
console)? Would I need to write the data to a file and open in a
spreadsheet programme?
fix on a data frame calls edit: see ?edit.data.frame. The help for
fix does say
Editing an \R object may change it in ways other than are obvious: see
the comment under \code{\link{edit}}.
The simple answer is not to use fix() or edit() on other than the data
frames they are documented t
Dear list members
Here is a strange problem that I have had for a long time, without
finding out how to solve it. Whenever I use fix() on a data.frame that
contains Dates, these are converted to numerics. As shown by the very
simple example:
a <- data.frame(var1 = 1, today = Sys.Date() )
a
fix(a)
