Hi,
I need to capture the output in a physical file when I run an R script.
I would like to capture the output as a TXT file. I am thinking
something along the line of the tee command is what I am after, but I am
not certain what I am after here.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tee_(command)
https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/tee-invocation.html
Here is a syntax example of how I use the tee command on other efforts
of life:
/bin/bash ./BackUp_script-v3.sh | tee -a ~/Desktop/script-run-Sunday-1.txt
Here is a syntax example of how I am running my R scripts now:
#R Studio Console
#source("./process/script-name.r")
#Bash Terminal
#Rscript ./process/script-name.r
QUESTIONS
What command or function am I after to capture console and terminal output?
It would be best to also define the character encoding and line ending
parameters of the TXT file. How do I amend my existing script run syntax
to capture the said outputs?
Thanks,

Dear Stephen, Maybe running R in batch mode is what you're after? E.g. running R CMD BATCH ./process/script-name.r creates ./process/script-name.Rout (or ./process/script-name.rout ?) with output of R commands and inline output, I think stderr (maybe others? Not only stdout like tee ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_streams ) Note, the batch output is overwritten, as opposed to being appended to (the tee -a flag) the next time you run that line again ... Best, Rasmus
