[R] history() does not work?
Hi, history() gives Error in savehistory(file) : no history available to save although I can scroll throu history with C^uparrow an C^downarrow. How can I make history() work and/or show the current history in a file, so that I can choose from previous commands? The web did not throw up anything useful. TIA --Christian -- Christian W.

Out of curiosity, when you call: R capabilities()['cledit'] Do you get `FALSE`? Yes, I do. So what do you suggest? This suggests that R is running w/o readline support enabled -- which is necessary for `history()` to work. I don't really know much about R running on windows, so I'm not sure if what you are seeing is normal or strange. I don't see any mention of no `history()` support in in the R for Window FAQ: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html So my *guess* is that you should be able to get this to work rather easily. How are you running R? I mean, is it some R GUI? Rstudio? Emacs/ESS (in which case, it is run w/o readline)? Rcmdr? I'm just stabbing at the dark right now -- I'm sure a windows useR will swoop in soon w/ the right stuff if we don't sort it out this way. -steve -- Steve Lianoglou Graduate Student: Computational Systems Biology | Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center | Weill Medical College of Cornell University Contact Info: http://cbio.mskcc.org/~lianos/contact __ 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.

Hi, history() gives Error in savehistory(file) : no history available to save although I can scroll throu history with C^uparrow an C^downarrow. How can I make history() work and/or show the current history in a *file*, so that I can choose from previous commands? The notion of having readline enabled: How can I do that on mac osx? I work with R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0/x86_64 (64-bit) TIA --Christian -- Christian W.
