How do you sink both the console input and the console output to a text file? Take the following code:
sink("temp.txt")
1:10
sink()
It will write a text file that looks like this:
[1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
But how do I create a text file that looks like this:
> 1:10
[1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
I've looked at ?sink and searched R-help. I've also read: maintaining an input / output log in R
If it makes a difference, I'm using StatET and Eclipse.
library(TeachingDemos)
txtStart("temp.txt")
1:10
txtStop()
The text file now looks like
> 1:10
[1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
help( "xx" ) to a file ?If you save an R script file instead of inputing your commands into an interactive session, you can also run the following from the command line (on *nix systems):
R --no-save --quiet < /path/to/script.R > /path/to/output.txt
This will create the file "output.txt" and save all input (including comments) and output from the R script into it.
