Getting a job status update with R - r

I have a rather simple question that I can't seem to find an answer for.
I essentially want to know if there is code that provide a status for the code we are running. As an example, I am running code that usually takes time and would like to know if the job is 25%-50%-75% complete. This is the kind of features we get with Software from large companies ($$).
Does anyone use anything when working with R?
I use Rstudio if this is pertinent.
Thanks

Trying to find a good way to convert HTML to PDF

how are you. For a while I've been working for a Gynecologist building her a data base. For the project I am using Firebase and JavaScript. The database is for her to keep track of their patients and she keeps reports on each one of them. I am almost done with the job, the UI is almost finished, the core functionalities of the database (save data, delete, retreive, and update) are up and running but I am stuck in one little thing. She asked me for a way to turn those reports she keeps in the database into a format like PDF so she can print them and give them in case needed to her patients. The thing is that Ive tried with html2pdf, a git repository that works kind of clunky, and tried looking for others but I still cant find one that works correctly. So I wanted to ask you guys if you know of some alternatives. I started thinking about using EXCEl or Word document. But either way it seems quite complicated. Thank you for your time.
Best to all.

Recovery unsaved R.script in R

Recently I closed an R.scrip and DONT save the changes (i.e. I lost almost all my work...).
I would like to know if there is some option to recovery back My previous version of that scrip
This script is not associated with any R.project
how to recovery unsaved R codes?
I found this similar question, but since my scarce knowledge in R I am not able to replicate. Could someone explain me with all possible details how (if is possible) recover my previous R.scrip.
I looked in the R folder but did not found nothing. Also * tried in "Documents* but same result (nothing).
I really appreciatte the help

Download Bloomberg Terminal's information using R

I've been looking for some clear examples for this approach. I know it requires an API in some cases. I've found the libraries Rblpapi and RblDataLicense, but I haven't been able to find a clear example to base on.
I need to download data from the DDIS function in the bloomberg terminal for a credit risk modeling I'm currently developing.
I'll appreciate a lot if anyone could help me out.
There are examples in the vignette and manual, which you can find at https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=Rblpapi .
I have never tried to do this, but I don't think you can just download the DDIS data as is. I suspect you'd have to recreate it by finding all the bonds for the company(ies) you're interested in and then downloading the info you want for each one. Looks as though you'd need to explore the bsrch() function.

How to see where in my code a function gets called in RStudio?

I'm currenty cleaning up my first big R project and at a point, where I have a lot of functions implemented but I am not sure, which function got called and used by me in an other script and which function got never used. So now I want to get all calls of this function in my project. Is this possible?
I'm using RStudio and a lot of other IDEs I've used got a feature like this, so I was wondering if this is also implemented in RStudio.
I searched the web and stack overflow, but got no answer, so I assume that this is not possible but I wanted to ask, just in case it IS possible but I didn't found the right answer.
Thank you!

Fastest way to send multiple http requests in R

You can use multithreading in Python and send lots of http requests, like in this SO question. My question is, is there any easy way to do this in R? I've seen a guide for RCurl here, but I'd prefer a simpler solution if possible. Currently I'm looping through a series of ids, it's be great to send all (or more) of them at once.
That guide to multiple requests in Rcurl looks pretty simple, in fact I'd say it looks simpler to me than the solution to the Python question you've linked. Better yet, the work is already done for you. Most of that guide is going into detail about the advantages of concurrent requests; the method itself is deceptively simple, and is provided for you pre-cooked right at the top of the page.
You can literally cut and paste the code shown at the top of the post into an R script (include library(RCurl) above it), run that code to source the function, then call the function with a single line.
I won't paste the function code here, since you should get that from its author, but once you've sourced that function, their example usage is:
uris = c("http://www.omegahat.org/index.html", "http://www.omegahat.org/RecentActivities.html")
z <- getURIs(uris)
I just did the above on my own computer, and it works perfectly. I'd be surprised if you can find a simpler solution than that.
