Hello,
I'm running a very long for loop that usually takes hours. For my own piece
of mind, it would be nice if I could check periodically and see which
iteration the loop is on. A line of code that told R to print the iteration
number every 100 or 200 iterations would be perfect.
Does anyone know something like this? I've never known how to print
anything within a for loop before the loop ends.
Thanks,
Mitch
You can also use message() to print a message to the console during
execution (I often do this while debugging functions)
use paste to put the required text together
i.e
for(i in 1:10){
#some code
message(paste("Iteration ",i," of 10",sep=""))
#more code
}
Regards
Paul.
