R devel - Mar 2007 - Carriage returns and Sweave output

Dear all,

I have a code chunk in my Rnw file that, when executed, outputs  
carriage return characters ('\r') to inform on the progress (e.g.  
"sweep 4 of 1024\r"). But Sweave interprets this as a newline  
character, and therefore I get countless pages of output in my  
vignette where I only really want one line. Any ideas?

Thanks

E

Dear Ernest,

this may not be exactly what you asked for, but how about setting 
"results=hide" in the options of your code chunk?

Best wishes
   Wolfgang
