Did you test that? Printing a to see the result so the commands are ------------- a <- "reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllyyyyy looooo ooooooooong chaaaaaaaaarrr" a ---------------------------- Pasting directly into Rgui > a <- "reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllyyyyy looooo + ooooooooong chaaaaaaaaarrr" > a [1] "reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllyyyyy looooo\n ooooooooong chaaaaaaaaarrr" Saving to file 'test.r' and sourcing > source("C:\\Documents and Settings\\jewell\\Desktop\\test.r", echo=TRUE) > a <- "reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllyyyyy looooo + ooooooooong chaaaaaaaaarrr" > a [1] "reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllyyyyy looooo\n ooooooooong chaaaaaaaaarrr" I don't think this is what the OP wanted.
