R help - Jun 2008 - Eliminating "[...]" from print

Hi Folks,
This must be easy but I've not managed to locate the solution!

Basically: I'm using sink() to save successively obtained
results, e.g. I construct a set of regression coefficients
etc. with names rows and columne (I want to see the names
in the output) as an object (say "Object"), and then I
emit it with

  print(Object)

So far so good. But I also want to print a little header
and separator prior to each such print(Object) which would
identify it and explain what's going on. BUT: I can't get
rid of the "[1]" which comes out each time I print a
character string. Getting rid of the quotes is easy: just
use "quote=FALSE". For example:

  print ("############################",quote=FALSE)

gives

  [1] ############################

But how do I get rid of that "[1]"??

With thanks,
Ted.

Dear Ted,

what about
cat("####################\n")

or

message("####################")

Best,
Matthias
