[R] package: RWinEdt question

[Mari]

Thank you for your quick reply. Except for the "instances" issue, RWinEdt seems to be
working well with WinEdt 8.2 so I'll continue to use it. (I can't customize keyboard shortcuts in
RStudio or some of the other often mentioned editors).


I looked at the code for "startWinEdt" and I can see where the difference in the versions occcur:


function (InstallRoot, ApplData, WinEdtVersion, args = NULL) 
{
    if (WinEdtVersion < 6) {
        shell(paste("\"\"", InstallRoot, "\\WinEdt.exe\" -C=\"R-WinEdt\" -E=", 
            shQuote(normalizePath(file.path(ApplData, "R.ini"))), 
            "\"", sep = ""), wait = FALSE)
    }
    else {
        shell(paste("\"\"", InstallRoot, "\\WinEdt.exe\"\"", 
            if (!is.null(args)) 
                args, sep = ""), wait = FALSE)
    }
}

I gave up on trying to support WinEdt with my patchDVI package because
of these constant incompatible changes.  Nowadays I recommend that my
students use RStudio and/or TeXWorks.
