Spaces shouldn’t matter provided that everything is enclosed in quotes. Most people don’t use absolute references. They set the working directory and then just use the name of the file.

The state of the previous session is stored in a special .Rdata file which is invisible to Macs and Windoze machines by default. You need to modify your system file manage to see them.

R does recognize space on a Mac. You need to provide actual code.

[R-SIG-Mac] Some introductory questions
Greetings, As I’m getting familiar with R, I have some basic questions that I thought of to shoot to useRs: 1. When looking up library functions, symbols, objects, etc., is there a Google-style “global search” capability for all that is available with my installation? Or is it just all accessible via navigating the help() tree? 2. Are these objects, etc. stored on disk somewhere, or are they only accessible via the interfaces? For example, I would be interested to see the source code for the demo examples to learn how to do certain things, if this is possible. (It appeared as if the code for each demo that is executed as part of the ‘demo()’ command displayed in my R console, but I just want to be sure about this.) 3. How does one restore a saved session automatically? Is that saved in a file or files anywhere on the local filesystem? 4. I tried to read in a set of dummy space-delimited data saved in an absolute path on my computer, but it would not work. I tried something in another path that did not have a subfolder with a space in it (I.e. I plan on storing my data in a folder called “R Documents” or something similar) and that didn’t work either, so I’m still wondering whether or not (a) things have to be in the library location (it seems like you could customize that) and (b) whether R recognizes spaces in file paths. Please keep in mind that I am consulting the documentation first, but maybe not doing a global Google search for examples of these things. I’m trying to remember to do both as I go along, so as not to bother everyone.

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] Looking for help - demo() hangs R.app on 10.15.6
I am pleased to announce that Peter’s suggestion worked! I just downloaded and installed the R-4.0.0 (Patched) from the Mac nightly builds site and now R.app is version 1.73 and the rev is 7883. The command ‘demo()’ worked just fine. Thank you very much!

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] Looking for help - demo() hangs R.app on 10.15.6
Which Rgui version is this? A somewhat similar issue with opening files on some platforms was fixed shortly after 4.0.2 in Rgui rev 7849. I forget whether this was pushed to the CRAN binary (my install has 7847). At any rate, if yours is older, you may want to try Rgui.app from https://mac.r-project.org -pd > On 5 Sep 2020, at 22:55 , Michael Feher wrote: > > Hello!
