Dear Lin,
One bad solution: You can only (???) display it, when you click on another
Window (eg. the explorer) and then once again on the R window or by clicking on
the menu bar in R and second on the R window. In this way you can
"refresh" the display and you can see in which iteration step you are.
You can check this on the dummy example below:
k <- rnorm(4000000)
for (i in 1:10){
print(paste("Step ",i))#
k1 <- sort(k)
}
I don??t know, if there is another (better) way to refresh the R window...
Best,
Matthias
