Workaround for Command Line Input Limitation in RStudio: A Known Issue with No Immediate Fix
The issue is due to the limit on command line input in RStudio, which prevents you from entering more than 4095 bytes of text. This limit is not unique to RStudio and can be observed in other consoles as well. To work around this limitation, you can try the following: Enter your code in a sourced script (e.g., .R file) instead of the REPL. Use a different console that does not have this limit (although the author noted it works fine for scripts).
