Hi All, Is this a way to display in RStudio Global Environment pane an object name starting with dot ? For example:
aaa = list(n = seq(3,31,2), i = 1:30) .aaa = list(n = seq(3,31,2), i = 1:30)
The latter is not visible.
Names starting with . are hidden and I don't think there is a way to display them in the environment pane. If you need to find out all objects in your environment, you can use ls(all.names = TRUE).
.
ls(all.names = TRUE)
Thank you, I knew about:
but was wondering if somehow I could have it in Global Environment Pane. By the way what is a purpose to have hidden objects ?
It's a common UNIX way of hiding certain files for whatever reason. Usually all sorts of configuration files are starting with a . and this way they don't show up when you run ls. Or at least that's how I understand it, not sure if there is a particular reason for that though.
ls
Thank you @mishabalyasin for your explanation. I agree that hidden conf. files are important and not made for messing up with them, but hidden list or dataframe sounds a bit strange to me.
