Greetings All.
My apologies for a question whose answer is probably
readily available somewhere (for some interpetation
of "somewhere") ...
Say I have just typed (from a sheet of paper) several
lines into the R command-line, and what I see is:
> chisq.test(matrix(c(3,6,3,4,4,
+ 4,1,4,6,5,
+ 2,7,4,2,5,
+ 8,2,4,4,2,
+ 3,4,5,4,4),ncol=5))
Later, I find that would like to re-input the data part
of this command ("matrix(c(...)...)"). Without the "+"
continuation prompts, it would be easy to do this by
copy&paste with the mouse in one operation. With the "+"
marks there, I have to do the copy&paste for each separate line.
So is there a way to suppress the output of the "+" at the
beginning of each continuation line?
(The above is one of the smaller examples of this situation;
sometimes I have wished to do this for commands extending over,
say, 15-20 lines).
With thanks,
Ted.

Hello,
See the setting of options()$continue
> options("continue" = "")
Error in options(continue = "") : invalid value for 'continue'
> options("continue" = " ")
> x <-
1:5
> x
[1] 1 2 3 4 5
Hope this helps,

On Windows just copy the command to the clipboard and the use Edit |
Paste Commands to paste them back (as opposed to just Paste) in and it
will remove the leading junk on each line as it pastes it in.
Another possibility which is not specific to Windows is to issue:
history()
and then copy from the history -- the history output has no leading
junk in the first place.

If I understand the question correctly the answer is probably not to type anything at the R command line. A good editor or interface is a better approach

Dear Ted,
I don't think that it's really advisable to do so, because it might lead to confusion, but you could set options(continue=" ").
Best,
John

At some level of complexity it is worth thinking of using a programming
front end to R rather than the basic GUI. I have really benefited from
downloading RStudio myself, but there are any number of other choices
that might be suited to your needs as well. Knowing how long you have
been around this list, you probably can name more than I.

Or just see ?options and its argument "continue".
