Hi All, When I cut & paste help file examples into a script window, about half the time it pastes as a single long line.
The steps I follow are: 1. Open a help file e.g. ?data.frame. 2. Select the examples at the bottom. 3. Choose File: Copy. 4. Return to the console. 5. Choose File: New script. 6. Choose File: Paste or do CTRL-V. The examples frequently paste as a single long line. I came across this in 2.6.0 beta on Windows XP & thought it was related to the cut/paste changes in that version. I went back to 2.5.1 and at first it worked fine, verifying my suspicion that it was a 2.6.0 problem. I double-checked my steps before posting, and to my surprise found that in both versions this problem is intermittent. I thought it might be a menu vs. keyboard CTRL-V difference, but found it happens with both, and in both versions. I have also fiddled with sizing or moving the Help window but that doesn't seem to be related. I did discover that may be a problem on the paste side of things, as so far it *always* pastes into Notepad correctly. Any ideas? Thanks, Bob P.S. What would really be slick would be to select the example in Help, right-click and choose Run Line or Selection. Perhaps in version 2.7. ;-) . ========================================================= Bob Muenchen (pronounced Min'-chen), Manager, Statistical Consulting Center U of TN Office of Information Technology Stokely Management Center, Suite 200 916 Volunteer Blvd., Knoxville, TN 37996-0520 Voice: (865) 974-5230 FAX: (865) 974-4810 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://oit.utk.edu/scc Map: http://www.utk.edu/maps News: http://listserv.utk.edu/archives/statnews.html ========================================================= ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
