Rdiff_chr: Run Rdiff Directly on R Objects
In diffobj: Diffs for R Objects

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Note See Also

These functions are here for reference and testing purposes. They are wrappers to tools::Rdiff and rely on an existing system diff utility. You should be using ses or diffChr instead of Rdiff_chr and diffPrint instead of Rdiff_obj. See limitations in note.

Rdiff_chr(from, to, silent = FALSE, minimal = FALSE, nullPointers = TRUE)

Rdiff_obj(from, to, silent = FALSE, minimal = FALSE, nullPointers = TRUE)

`from`	character or object coercible to character for `Rdiff_chr`, any R object with `Rdiff_obj`, or a file pointing to an RDS object
`to`	character same as `from`
`silent`	TRUE or FALSE, whether to display output to screen
`minimal`	TRUE or FALSE, whether to exclude the lines that show the actual differences or only the actual edit script commands
`nullPointers`	passed to `tools::Rdiff`

Rdiff_chr runs diffs on character vectors or objects coerced to character vectors, where each value in the vectors is treated as a line in a file. Rdiff_chr always runs with the useDiff and Log parameters set to TRUE.

Rdiff_obj runs diffs on the printed representation of the provided objects. For each of from, to, will check if they are 1 length character vectors referencing an RDS file, and will use the contents of that RDS file as the object to compare.

the Rdiff output, invisibly if silent is FALSE Rdiff_chr(letters[1:5], LETTERS[1:5]) Rdiff_obj(letters[1:5], LETTERS[1:5])

These functions will try to use the system diff utility. This will fail in systems that do not have that utility available (e.g. windows installation without Rtools).
