Hello Marc, I think I am quite a dunce!
I have diff.exe in the folder C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.0\bin, which is where the R.exe file is located. I ran the following from the command line: > diff C:/Program Files/R/R-2.13.0/tests/eval-etc.Rout C:/Program > Files/R/R-2.13.0/tests/eval-etc.Rout.save > diff.txt Error: unexpected symbol in "diff C" I tried again with quotes around the file names: > diff 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.13.0/tests/eval-etc.Rout' 'C:/Program > Files/R/R-2.13.0/tests/eval-etc.Rout.save' > diff.txt Error: unexpected string constant in "diff 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.13.0/tests/eval-etc.Rout'" Regards, Cody --- On Fri, 7/1/11, Marc Schwartz <marc_schwa...@me.com> wrote: > From: Marc Schwartz <marc_schwa...@me.com> > Subject: Re: [R] testInstalledBasic > To: "Cody Hamilton" <cody.sh...@yahoo.com> > Cc: "Uwe Ligges" <lig...@statistik.tu-dortmund.de>, r-help@r-project.org > Date: Friday, July 1, 2011, 10:16 AM > Cody, > > The 'diff' program should be installed with Duncan's RTools > package on Windows and if in your path, should be usable via > the CLI. > > From a Windows console command line, in the folder where > the output files in question are located, use: > > diff eval-etc.Rout eval-etc.Rout.save > diff.txt > > That will generate the file diff.txt, which will contain > the line by line differences in the two files, which you can > post back for review. > > There is also this post from Prof. Ripley from last year: > > https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2010-May/237922.html > > which may perhaps be helpful for Uwe in considering other > possible solutions if locale is relevant here. > > HTH, > > Marc Schwartz > > > On Jul 1, 2011, at 11:51 AM, Cody Hamilton wrote: > > > Hello Uwe, > > > > Please forgive my ignorance - how can I get my diffs? > > > > Regards, > > -Cody > > > > --- On Fri, 7/1/11, Uwe Ligges <lig...@statistik.tu-dortmund.de> > wrote: > > > >> From: Uwe Ligges <lig...@statistik.tu-dortmund.de> > >> Subject: Re: [R] testInstalledBasic > >> To: "Cody Hamilton" <cody.sh...@yahoo.com> > >> Cc: r-help@r-project.org > >> Date: Friday, July 1, 2011, 9:13 AM > >> > >> > >> On 01.07.2011 18:07, Cody Hamilton wrote: > >>> Hi Uwe, > >>> > >>> Thank you for taking the time to look into > this! > >>> > >>> I created the function my.test by modifying > >> testInstalledBasic with the line change you list > below and > >> then ran: > >>> > >>> Sys.setenv(LC_COLLATE="C") > >>> my.test('basic') > >>> > >>> I get the same error message as before: > >>> > >>>> my.test('basic') > >>> running strict specific tests > >>> running code in > ‘eval-etc.R’ > >>> comparing > ‘eval-etc.Rout’ to > >> ‘eval-etc.Rout.save’ ...[1] 1 > >> > >> > >> But we really need your diffs! > >> > >> Uwe Ligges > > ______________________________________________ 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.
