Hi Tatyana,
Well, most things are implicitly printed. For the most part you should
be able to just
sink(file="my_R_log.txt")
and write your r-code as you normally would. Anything that would
usually be printed to the screen is instead sent to my_R_log.txt
instead, including things that are implicitly printed.
Note that you should do
sink()
when done to close the connection. Just give it a try and see if it
does what you want. If not report back and tell us what you want that
sink() is not doing for you.
Best,
Ista
