I noticed that R scripts produce a spurious white line after output. For example, the following shell script,
#!/bin/sh R --slave --vanilla <<EOF cat("Hello\n") EOF when made executable under the name ``hello`` along the search path, behaves like this: $ hello | od -bc 0000000 110 145 154 154 157 012 012 H e l l o \n \n 0000007 The second newline is not wanted, and I would like if R was not producing it. --please do not edit the information below-- Version: platform = i686-pc-linux-gnu arch = i686 os = linux-gnu system = i686, linux-gnu status = major = 2 minor = 2.1 year = 2005 month = 12 day = 20 svn rev = 36812 language = R Locale: LC_CTYPE=fr_CA.UTF-8;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=fr_CA.UTF-8;LC_COLLATE=fr_CA.UTF-8;LC_MONETARY=fr_CA.UTF-8;LC_MESSAGES=fr_CA.UTF-8;LC_PAPER=C;LC_NAME=C;LC_ADDRESS=C;LC_TELEPHONE=C;LC_MEASUREMENT=C;LC_IDENTIFICATION=C Search Path: .GlobalEnv, package:methods, package:stats, package:graphics, package:utils, package:datasets, fp.etc, package:grDevices, Autoloads, package:base ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
