seeking the wisdom of the perl monks ...

within R i submit this code:

> data <- c("2016-03-15 13","2016-03-16 23","2016-03-17 06","2016-03-1
+8 15","2016-03-19 08","2016-03-20 21")
> datevec <- strptime(data,"%Y-%m-%d %H")
> difftime(datevec[-length(datevec)],datevec[-1],units="hours")
[download]

which correctly produces this output:
Time differences in hours
1 -34 -7 -33 -17 -37

notice the two lines. now, in perl i have this code:

$R->set( 'data', "2016-03-15 13","2016-03-16 23","2016-03-17 06","2016
+-03-18 15","2016-03-19 08","2016-03-20 21" );
$R->run( q`datevec <- strptime(data,"%Y-%m-%d %H")` );
$R->run( q`xx <- difftime(datevec[-length(datevec)],datevec[-1],units=
+"hours")` );
@Rres = $R->get('xx');
print Dumper(\@Rres);
[download]

which correctly produces this result:

$VAR1 = [
          [
            'Time',
            'difference',
            'of',
            'hours'
          ]
        ];
[download]

the problem is that no matter what i do i cannot get to the second output line from R ... the line 1 -34 -7 -33 -17 -37

any suggestion on how i can get to the second (and in many cases n-number) of subsequent output lines from R? thanks!

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
