R help - Nov 2008 - run time function for R scripts?

Hi All,

I was wondering if there was a function in R that would output the total run
time for various scripts.

For now I have the following workaround:

begTime <- Sys.time()

... the rest of the R script...

runTime <- Sys.time()-begTime


Is there another function that I don't know about that would return this
information in a more elegant manner?

Thanks!

You could try

                system.time( expr )
