If I read the help file correctly, another alternative is as follows:

            sink(file="my_R_log.txt", split=TRUE)


"split = logical: if TRUE, output will be sent to the new sink and to the current output stream"


      Hope this helps,
      Spencer

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

Thanks, Ista! I looked at sink() and it looks like it might work.
However, it seems as though you need to use it with the "print"
command. I have a lot of regression output that I would like to store
in a log file. How do I use sink with that?

Best,
Tatyana

Hi everyone,

Is there a way to make R save the workspace output (just the results,
not the objects themselves) as you go? I'm running analysis that takes
a long time to run and I want to be able to interrupt it without
losing all the output to date. Is there an alternative to putting
"save.image()" commands after every couple lines of code?

Best,
Tatyana
