Hello,
I have noticed a behavior that I don't understand. When I call the
following function from the prompt.
test <- function(){
a <- readline("selection: ")
a
}
> test()
> selection: |
I can only type one character and the readline function exits before I can
press enter.
however
test1 <- function(){
a <- readline("selection:")
a
}
> test1()
> selection:|
works as expected.
> selection: abc[Ret]
However calling directly readline with a space in the prompt does what I
would expect.
> a <- readline("selection: ")
> selection: abc[Ret]
> a
> "abc"
It is the expected behavior or am I missing something?
Best regards,
Jeremie
