ok, thanks Jim

The problem comes from length(dep)<leading, so we get negative number...
> length(dep)
[1] 183

c(leading, length(dep) - leading)
[1]  516 -333

But 183 seems to be the right number:
$ wc -l /tmp/RFile.r
183 /tmp/RFile.r

So now need to understand what is this "dep", and why it has a bigger length... tried to check source code (:-)) but could not get it... any idea?

Thanks a lot

It sounds like you have some invalid expressions.  Dump out the values
of 'leading' and 'length(dep) - leading'.  Learn some simple debugging
techniques.  One is to set

options(error=utils::recover)

so that on the error you can use the browser to examine what the values are.

hi

I am seeing a strange behavior I can't understand... doing:

source("/tmp/RFile.r",echo=TRUE)
Error in rep.int(c(prompt.echo, continue.echo), c(leading, length(dep) -  :
  invalid 'times' value
traceback()
3: rep.int(c(prompt.echo, continue.echo), c(leading, length(dep) -
       leading))
2: paste(rep.int(c(prompt.echo, continue.echo), c(leading, length(dep) -
       leading)), dep, sep = "", collapse = "\n")
1: source("/tmp/RFile.r", echo = TRUE)
But the file I am trying to source is very simple... see:
$ more /tmp/RFile.r
###################################################
### chunk number 1:
###################################################
#line 516 "VolStocksDec2010.Rnw"
path<-"~/Dropbox/FAO/Papers/Volatility only"
pathMarkov<-"~/Dropbox/FAO/Markov Model/"
library(zoo)

Any idea where it can come from? It works fine when echo=FALSE... I am using
R 2.12, on Ubuntu Linux 10.4 (R from CRAN), full session info below. Should
I rather send this to r-devel?

Thanks a  lot
