I see a rich set of graphic device functions to redirect that output. Are there commands to redirect text as well. I have a set of functions that execute many linear regression tests serially and I want to capture this in a file for printing. Thanks, Stan Hopkins [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Here are two simple ways: === method1 ==cat("line1","\n",file="output.txt") cat("line2","\n",file="output.txt",append=TRUE) === method2 ==sink("output.txt") cat("line1","\n") cat("line2","\n") out <- lm(y~x,data=data.frame(x=1:10,y=(1:10+rnorm(10,0,0.1)))) print(out) sink() And then there is 'Sweave'. Check out, for instance <http://www.stat.umn.edu/~charlie/Sweave/> You can embed R code, figures, and output from print methods into your latex document.

You may want to look at the R2HTML package as one approach (others have already told you about sink and cat). Another approach is to use the variations on sweave. Here you set up a template file with the code you want run as well as any explanitory text (you can even write an entire report), then process this with sweave and the output will be included. The original sweave works with LaTeX, there is an HTML driver for sweave in the R2HTML package (so the source and final documents are html) and there is an odfWeave package that lets you create the template and output in a word processor (uses the openoffice word processor, but since you can convert from and to Msword from there, this is not much of a limitation).
