If I type the line below at my Rprompt, it works fine. But, if I put the same line in a file called systest.R and then source that file at the prompt, nothing happens. IF I use R CMD BATCH, it also works in that the system.time info is the .Rout file. Is there something I can do so that this line also works when I source it ? Thanks.

You need to print the result of an expression if used from source(). Autoprinting only occurs at the top level. E.g. % cat > systest.R print(system.time(for(i in 1:100) mad(runif(1000))))> source("systest.R")user system elapsed 0.14 0.00 0.20 On Mon, 17 Sep 2007, Leeds, Mark (IED) wrote:> If I type the line below at my Rprompt, it works fine.
