R help - Jul 2010 - how to display the clock time in the loop

Hi,

I am doing some computation which is pretty time consuming, I want R to
display CPU time after each iteration using the command Sys.time(). However,
I found that the code only began to display the CPU time after quite a while
and several iterations have finished. Is there a way to ask R to display
time right after each iteration is finished?

Thanks,

-Jun

Try to flush output after printing:

cat(paste(Sys.time()),"\n"); flush(stdout())
