Hello all,

This shouldn't be difficult, but I am not able to extract a printed
value from a function and assign it to an object.

In my case,

library(DAAG)
twotPermutation(c(2,3,4),c(3,6,5),plotit=F)
[1] 0.298

I would like to assign this result to an object.

Two suggestions:
1.
Modify the code for twotPermutation by removing the invisible()
at the end.

2.
Use capture.output to capture the result and then convert
to numeric:

 pvstring <- capture.output(
     twotPermutation( c(2,3,4), c(3,6,5), plotit=FALSE) ))

Now you can use strsplit or substr to extract the numeric part:

 pv <- as.numeric(strsplit(pvstring, " ")[[1]][2])

or

 pv <- as.numeric(
      substr(pvstring, nchar(pvstring) - 5, nchar(pvstring)))

Thanks,
