Hi all, I've been a happy user of R under cygwin for a number of years now. I prefer the bash interface and readline history, and I find Vi to be the most efficient editor.
Recently, the edit command has started giving me errors: > edit(file='foo.R') Error in edit(name, file, title, editor) : unable to run editor 'vi' Vi works from bash shell and is in the path. 'vi' is a symbolic link to the executable, so I tried specifying the full path using options(editor='c:/cygwin/bin/vim-nox.exe'): > edit(file='foo.R') NULL Warning message: In edit(name, file, title, editor) : editor ran but returned error status I've tried changing to another editor (ultraedit) and that works, but I'd like to get Vi working again. Any suggestions for troubleshooting would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Matt ______________________________________________ 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.
