R help - Jun 2010 - Question regarding print

Hi,

Does anybody know how to have output from print, without the leading [1]?
(Or must I use cat/write?)
>out="r15"
>print(out,quote=FALSE)
[1] r15

And I definitely do not want the leading [1] as I want to construct a table
from this.

Ciao, Adolf

What is the problem that you are trying to solve?

The cat function is probably the best approach, but if your really feel the need
to use print then you can just assign blank names (now it will be a named vector
and slower in heavy calculations, but the printing is different).  Try something
like:
> names(x) <- rep( '', length(x) )
> print(x)
# or
> x
This of course leads to the question of how to prevent the blank line(s).  The
best answer there is use the cat function (or some other specialized function to
print your objects (which will probably use cat)).

Hope this helps,
