R help - Jun 2008 - print one character on several lines

Hi All,

I'm wondering how I can print one large/long character on several lines so
that the output will not overflow a page. Setting fill be TRUE or even numbers
does not help. An example is below:


ipuFile <- file("input.txt", "w")      
    
cat("This is a very long character and I want to print it on several lines.
This is a very long character and I want to print it on several
lines.",fill = TRUE,file = ipuFile)
       
close(ipuFile)

Thanks!

Hua

?strwrap
> cat(strwrap("This is a very long character and I want to print it on
several lines. This is a very long character and I want to print it on several
lines.", width=40),sep="\n")
This is a very long character and I
want to print it on several lines. This
is a very long character and I want to
print it on several lines.
