Dear all,
I have a question about how to suppress intermediate results in a function
on console. For example, I will use summary() in my own function that looks
like:
myfunction <- function(?)
{
?
Summary(x)
?
}
Then myfunction() will print ?x? on console that is intermediate result and
doesn?t need showing.
Does someone have any idea or any suggestion? Thank you in advance.
Lisa

Well, since we have no idea what x is, that is going to be hard to do. Are you calling summary because you want the info on the last iteration of a loop? If so, just put the summary call outside the loop. Otherwise, why are you calling summary if you don't want a summary? Also, the posting guide requests a reproducible example, so please provide one in the future.

Thanks for your comments and suggestion. I didn?t show all my own function here because it has many lines. ?x? is the results of another function. I am calling summary because I want to extract some values from the results. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Suppress-intermediate-results-on-console-tp3553276p3553405.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

There is a capture.output function. Untested in the absence of a reproducible example.> > -- > View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Suppress-intermediate-results-on-console-tp3553276p3553405.html > Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.-- David Winsemius, MD West Hartford, CT
