In tnearey/nutils: Utilities for Debugging Mostly

nutils

The package nutils contains two kinds of utilities.

1. Those that I found useful particularly in early debugging 'scaffolding'

   • catln -- just cat with a newline appended, analogous to python3 print(). Name inspired by venerable Pascal writeln.

   • showvars -- show variable names and print its type and contents.

2. A couple of functions that interface with the mac

   • macopen - open a Mac folder or file in Finder or in the file's default application.

   • macedit - open a text file in Mac TextEdit app.

Installation

You can install the latest commit from GITHUB with: devtools:install_github("tnearey/nutils")

Example

library(nutils)
catln('a',"the banana is in the cupboard")
#> a the banana is in the cupboard
x=1
y="Why not"
lst=list('x'=x,'y'=y,fred=data.frame(x=x,y=y,z="Not me"))
showvars(x,y,lst)
#> "x": numeric
#> [1] 1
#> "y": character
#> [1] "Why not"
#> "lst": list
#> $x
#> [1] 1
#> 
#> $y
#> [1] "Why not"
#> 
#> $fred
#>   x       y      z
#> 1 1 Why not Not me
