In following a thread on this mailing list, I encounter an apparent issue
with **Edit | Paste commands only** in the Windows R-GUI.
Reproducible steps:
Go to (using IE?):
http://www.r-bloggers.com/select-operations-on-r-data-frames/
Find the section entitled 'Duplicate row names'
Copy the following lines from the web page
< a = matrix(1:18, nrow=6, ncol=3)
< rownames(a)<- c('a', 'a', 'a', 'b', 'b', 'b')
< colnames(a)<- c('foo', 'bar', 'bat')
< a
Open R-GUI 2.14.2 under Windows 7
Using R-GUI menu, Choose **Edit | Paste Commands Only**
Result: Nothing appears on the console.
Hit Edit | Paste or ctrl-v and verify that the code is contained on the
clipboard as expected
[Note: upon pasting into MSWord the clipboard contents are, by default,
pasted as "HTML" not "unformatted" text]
Is this a bug or just unsupported use of the command?
I would say unsupported use. That menu option is for copying from the
console to the console. It can generally handle some variations on the
prompt (e.g. it will work on the output of example()), but it's not
going to know that you mean < to be the prompt, even if you use
options(prompt="< ") to tell it.
