Hi there,

Thanks for your work for creating this Notepad++ script. I have now have auto-completion for all the different packages i use. Keep up the great work.

Greetings,

Werner

Nice, but who still uses Windows? (Joking)
This will be sweet for using R at work.
Good work!

Have you considered sending this to the Notepad++ team to include in newer versions?

Maybe the UseR 2010 slides are of some interest: http://user2010.org/slides/Redd.pdf

Thanks for posting this! It's incredibly useful. Some function hints are too long to be displayed on one line (think read.table) , can this be fixed with some n's in the code or does it require a change to notepad++'s code?

Thanks! This will save me a lot of time since I won't have to look up the documentation when I forget the argument names and order.

Hi!
Excellent work. However, having trouble setting it up since I converted to 64-bits Win7.

I am getting this error message on my setup when running your script
(Windows 7 64-bit, R 2.12.0 x64)

>Error in file(file, ifelse(append, "a", "w")) : 
> cannot open the connection
>In addition: Warning message:
>In file(file, ifelse(append, "a", "w")) :
>  cannot open file 'R.xml': Permission denied

It produces the file R.xml, however it doesnt work (maybe the script was stopped prematurely?)

Changing directory with setwd() to e.g. "Desktop" or "Documents" or others still gives permission problems (although these directories have all permissions (read/write).
When using the R.xml supplied on your web site auto-completion works, but that file doesn't include autocompletion for packages such as e.g. ggplot2 and plyr, which I use quite often, so it is of limited value to me.

I have followed your instructions for adding auto completion. I generated the r.xml, copied to the APIs directory and enabled auto-completion and function hints in the settings of npp. I can get the word/function completion to work, but the function parameter hints do not work. Any suggestions on what to do to make the hints work? I just upgraded to Windows7, I had everything working before on XP.

I saw your comment about using R Studio now, but just wanted to say that I still appreciate this script. I use R studio as well, but still find myself drawn back to the syntax highlighting and general flexibility of Notepad++ for a variety of languages, even more so now with this script. Thanks!
