I've read ?sink and several web pages about it but it's not working properly
when I have the commands in a script and source() them.
The file:
library(tidyverse)
library(lubridate)
sink('data-summaries.txt')
'corvalis discharge summary\n'
summary(cor_disc)
sd(cor_disc$cfs)
'-----------------\n'
sink()
source('summary_stats.R')
results in an empty file.
When I enter them line-by-line on the R command line I get output including
multiple lines listing the PWD and ignoring the newline:
[1] "/path/to/PWD"
[1] "corvalis discharge summary\n"
[1] "/path/to/PWD"

What am I doing incorrectly here? I've looked at examples on web pages
without learning where I'm erring.
TIA,
Rich
