Hi, Take a look at ?readLines Also, you should use function(object) not function(x) because of how the generic is defined. Below is an example.
Cheers, Josh setClass("MyClass", sealed = FALSE, representation( Slot1 = "vector", Slot2 = "vector")) setMethod(f = "show", signature = "MyClass", definition = function(object) { cat("These are the values. Please press enter to see the values.\n") readLines(n = 1) cat(object@Slot1) }) x <- new("MyClass", Slot1 = 1:3, Slot2 = 4:7) x On Mon, Jun 6, 2011 at 10:19 AM, Bogaso Christofer <bogaso.christo...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear all, I have created a new S4 class with name "MyClass".
