[R] Turning off continuation prompt?
Greetings All. My apologies for a question whose answer is probably readily available somewhere (for some interpetation of somewhere) ... Say I have just typed (from a sheet of paper) several lines into the R command-line, and what I see is: chisq.test(matrix(c(3,6,3,4,4, + 4,1,4,6,5, + 2,7,4,2,5, + 8,2,4,4,2, + 3,4,5,4,4),ncol=5)) Later, I find that would like to re-input the data part of this command (matrix(c(...)...)). Without the + continuation prompts, it would be easy to do this by copypaste with the mouse in one operation. With the + marks there, I have to do the copypaste for each separate line. So is there a way to suppress the output of the + at the beginning of each continuation line? (The above is one of the smaller examples of this situation; sometimes I have wished to do this for commands extending over, say, 15-20 lines).

On Windows just copy the command to the clipboard and the use Edit | Paste Commands to paste them back (as opposed to just Paste) in and it will remove the leading junk on each line as it pastes it in. Another possibility which is not specific to Windows is to issue: history() and then copy from the history -- the history output has no leading junk in the first place. -- Statistics Software Consulting GKX Group, GKX Associates Inc. tel: 1-877-GKX-GROUP email: ggrothendieck at gmail.com __ 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.
Re: [R] Turning off continuation prompt?
If I understand the question correctly the answer is probably not to type anything at the R command line.

Dear Ted, I don't think that it's really advisable to do so, because it might lead to confusion, but you could set options(continue= ). Best, John John Fox Sen.

At some level of complexity it is worth thinking of using a programming front end to R rather than the basic GUI. I have really benefited from downloading RStudio myself, but there are any number of other choices that might be suited to your needs as well.
