I just discovered readline to provide user input. It is working as one would expect in Rgui but not in Rterm. In Rterm it reads the entire line of code not just the user input. How do I fix and what is the issue that I should read about?
Here is my two line script: ANSWER <- readline(prompt="Are you a satisfied R user? ") ANSWER So under RGUI one gets the following > ANSWER <- readline(prompt="Are you a satisfied R user? ") Are you a satisfied R user? yes > ANSWER [1] "yes" Under RTERM one gets > ANSWER <- readline(prompt="Are you a satisfied R user? ")yes Are you a satisfied R user? > ANSWER [1] "ANSWER <- readline(prompt=\"Are you a satisfied R user? \")yes" So I tried to hit enter after I saw the line in the terminal and this is what I got: > ANSWER <- readline(prompt="Are you a satisfied R user? ") Are you a satisfied R user? > ANSWER [1] "ANSWER <- readline(prompt=\"Are you a satisfied R user? \")" My R environment: Windows XP with service pack 3; R 2.8.1, tinn-R 2.2.0.2 Farrel Buchinsky ______________________________________________ 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.
