Hi Martin,

ok, I got it [Rdaemon offers flexible workflows ;) ]


The point is that the output of the R console which runs in the background will be parsed by a Perl script to clean the output since it could contain many control characters etc. I guess that's the problem.

Important: Which MacOSX and R version do you running?

and

Please do the following:
- start a new Rdaemon session
- execute your R code in question
- go to the "R Console (Rdaemon)" menu > "Rdaemon Tools" > "Logfiles" > "Open console log file r_out" [short-cut ⌥⌘T]
- a new window should appear showing the RAW output of the current R session's output [don't be confused ;)]
- check the window's content for any confidential data and if you can send me the content please do this:
-- open Finder; go to ~/Library/Application Support/Rdaemon; and send me the file "r_out" [please do not copy/save the content file to another file since editors can "destroy" its content due to possible control characters]

With this I can check the Perl script. Maybe I missed some output sequences to catch.

Best,
