[R] sink() and source()

hello,
I have  a problem running a R script actually I'm using source() and sink()
and it doesn't work

source("T:/agents/melyakhlifi/R/essai_rep.r")

to execute a file and the file contain

sink("T:/agents/melyakhlifi/R/sortie.html")
cat("<html><body><pre>\n")
matrix.merge2
cat("</pre></body></html>\n")
sink()


I don't understand why when I execute just the syntax with sink() it work
but in using source() it doesn't work
thanks

[R] sink() and source()

I don't know what is causing your problem,  But if you goal is to
produce html then you may want to look at the R2HTML package.  It may do
what you want without using sink.

Hope this helps,

You don't say what is going wrong, but I suspect your problem is that 
you're not printing matrix.merge2.  Listing a variable name on a line by 
itself only causes it to be printed when you're typing at the console, 
not when it's a line in a function or a line sourced from a file.  You 
need to call print() explicitly in those cases.
