[R] User input in R program
HI Everybody Does anyone know of documentation about different ways of obtaining user input in R. I have used readline() but I wondered is there are sophisticated packages that does things like validate answers or generate selection lists. bets regards Christaan [[alternative HTML version deleted]] __ 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] User input in R program
Hello Christian, for an example of interacting with graphic output, just run example(getGraphicsEvent) However, on X11, that feature had ceased to work since a pre-release of R-2.12 if Cairo support was enabled at compile time. The reason for this defect had already been documented in R's bugs database for long. Maybe getGraphicsEvent still runs on Windows.

Re: [R] User input in R program
Martyn Plummer's 'coda' package has some nice interactive menus. The package appears to be written entirely in R. You could start with the codamenu() function in the package source: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/coda/index.html -Matt On Fri, 2011-01-21 at 14:26 +0200, christiaan pauw wrote: HI Everybody Does anyone know of documentation about different ways of obtaining user input in R.

Re: [R] user input in R
And try also search statsrus The first hit shall be Paul Johnsons's howto's which helped me several years ago especially with basic issues. Regards Petr r-help-boun...@r-project.org napsal dne 10.10.2009 18:00:19: I'm just learning R (I don't know any other programming languages), and I have a question. I am trying to figure out how to ask for user input (say, a set of 3 numbers) then put those numbers into an array. I've looked around, but I haven't been able to find any answers that I understand. Thanks! Astoundingly, finding out how to load my own datasets was one of the hardest things for me to find information on when I was new to R and I had considerable programming experience. Part of the problem was that I didn't yet know exactly what R documentation was available or how to easily access it. Further, veteran users tend to assume loading datasets is easy, and much documentation and sample code uses 'generated data'. Thus, sample code demonstrating 'loading datasets' is a little hard to find when you are starting out! The official recommendation would go something like, You probably want to read the Import/Export documentation.You can find this on Windows GUI under help | manuals | Data Import/Export. Of course you proably also need to read chapter 7 of An Introduction to R which is also linked under manuals in the help menu. That said, I offer some beginner cheats you might find useful below. I particularly recommend the Verzzani Appendix. Things you could type at the command line to learn more about different ways to enter data are: ?scan ?read.table ?read.delim ?read.csv Beginner cheats Suggestions If you want GUI data input (of dataframes), I'd suggest installing and running the Rcmdr package. It lets you load many types of datasets, including Excel files. These can be used within Rcmdr or from the command line. If you are really new to R, I suggest looking at some of the contributed documentation to get a feel for how things are done as well as how to load user data http://cran.us.r-project.org/other-docs.html In particular, look at the appendix in John Verzzani's document to see a pragmatic description of using scan to input user data.

Thanks! I am guessing that your version of looking around did not include going to r-search and typing in user input because when you do, you quite a bit: http://search.r-project.org/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query=%22user+input%22max=100result=normalsort=scoreidxname=functionsidxname=Rhelp08idxname=views You could also try this at the console: ??input Or even ??user input Althought the last one does not give you very much, it still has a link to readline in the first offered hit on my system. Also possible would be to install package sos and then try: ???user input ... which in this case gives you way too many hits. -- David Winsemius, MD Heritage Laboratories West Hartford, CT __ 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.
