I usually just run my R programs at the R command prompt but for my
latest one I want to save any output that gets written to the screen so
I am
trying to use R CMD BATCH and send the output to an output file. I
realize I could use sink at the prompt but I'd rather try to do it this
way
because I know that I used to do this in S+.
So, I wrote a simple one line program called test.R which is below.
print("test of batch\n")
Then I did
R CMD BATCH temp.R temp.out
temp.out which is shown below then ends up containing all my loading up
messages and a proc.time statement at the very bottom but not the
print statement itself ? Does someone know what I'm doing wrong. I've
looked around but I can't find anything that answers my question. My
sessionInfo() is at ther very bottom of this email. Thanks.

Thanks.<snip> Well, it works for *me*! I made a file temp.R containing the line ``print("test of batch") and then did: R CMD BATCH temp.R temp.out The resulting file temp.out contained the ``test of batch'' line as expected/required. No problema. Clearly the R gods don't like you. :-) cheers, Rolf ###################################################################### Attention:\ This e-mail message is privileged and confid...{{dropped:9}}
thanks Rolf. Yes, I meant temp.R. I was going to use test.R but then I realized that I already had a program named that. I think the R gods are really hating me !!!!!!! it's a very odd thing. I'll grep the file because maybe the output is in there somewhere and i'm missing it ?
