WinEdt 9.0: R-Sweave 9.0 doesn't recognize a comment mark # :

[Robert K]

Dear Users,
I've encountered very strange behavior of WinEdt 9.0 and R-Sweave 9.0 on Win 8.2 x64. Yesterday I switched form WinEdt 8.2 and R-Sweave (worked perfectly) to the newest versions 9.0 that was working without any troubles too. Today I switched on my computers and I got an error because as far as I could figure out the comment mark (#) in R is not allowed. Strange because yesterday everything gone fine.

For example I have a line:
<<r packages, eval=FALSE>>=
install.packages("car") #must load once
@

which generates an error:

! You can't use `macro parameter character #' in horizontal mode.
l.95 install.packages("car") #
must load once


I tried to do the same on my laptop (Win 7 x64) and got the same error.

Anyway: R-Sweave is a wonderful add-on - thank you very much Gilbert.

Best,
Robert

Trying to figure out the problem I set the following issues:
1. Using a button: Knit + pdfLaTeX I get the mentioned error but an output tex file is correct (used PDFTeXify gets a pdf file)
2. In order to succeed in the context of the above point I must close a Rnw file. If I don't do this I get an error that refers to the Rnw file but not to the tex file - geting the error I write in WinEdt Console e and WinEdt moves me to the line of the error in the Rnw file where # appears. It makes me thing that actually PDFTeXify uses the Rnw file insted of the tex file.
3. A workaround: use a button: Knit and show, close Rnw file then use PDFTeXify.

The workaround is cumbersome therefore I decided to write more details in the hope of getting a solution.

Robert,

maybe you set your .Rnw file as the "Main file"?

Adnrej helped me solved the problem. My Rnw file was set as the "Main file".

Thanks,

Dear Winedt team,

I have dictionaries (from winedt7) to which I have added words along the
years. Is there a way to import them to winedt 9?

Best regards,

Have you tried with the script InstallDict?
