Unless I misunderstand, I don't think so. This just captures printed output as a character vector. To capture the "result" of a call as an object, just assign it: result <- summary(mydata). However, and again if I have not misunderstood, I believe the query indicates the OP has not done his/her homework by reading a basic R tutorial, like An Introduction to R and does not understand that most R functions already return summary objects that are automatically printed by the relevant print method. -- Bert > > Berend > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. -- Bert Gunter Genentech Nonclinical Biostatistics Internal Contact Info: Phone: 467-7374 Website: http://pharmadevelopment.roche.com/index/pdb/pdb-functional-groups/pdb-biostatistics/pdb-ncb-home.htm ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
