Hi, I am a newbie with R. My environment is linux and I have a file. I call it barebone.R, which has one line: cat ('Hello World!\n') I execute this file as: R --no-save < barebone.R And it does what I expect. What I get is 20+/- lines of text, one of which is 'Hello World!'. How would I go about getting rid of all but the line I am after, 'Hello World!'? Regards, Tena Sakai tsakai@gallo.ucsf.edu [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I had to browse 'man R' a bit before getting a hint. R --silent --nosave < barebone.R should do it!
