Since installing R 2.14.0 on my Mac (a Mac Pro running 10.6.8) an issue has
arisen when using the vi editor in conjunction with the edit() command. More
specifically, commented lines disappear from edited functions when using
[functionname.R] <- edit().
That is, if you have created a function called test.func as such:
function ()
{
# This is a test
ex _ 4
duh <- seq(1, 10)
fuh <- seq(11, 20)
plot(duh, fuh)
}
you will of course get an error message:
Error in edit(name, file, title, editor) :
unexpected input occurred on line 4
use a command like
x <- edit()
to recover
When using the x <- edit (or in this case, test.func <- edit()), the comment
This is a test will disappear from the edited function.
Does anyone have any insight into this problem?
Thanks,
Jeff Freedman
