What do you think these 2 lines are doing?
cat ('corvalis discharge summary\n')
print(cat)
Bert,
If I used them in linux cat would display the file (as do more and less) and
print() would be replaced with lpr
Please consult ?cat . You might also spend a bit of (more?) time with an R
tutorial or two as you seem confused about how assignment (<-) works. Or
maybe I'm confused about what is confusing you....
Having never before needed to use cat in R, and not seeing it explained in
the one sink() web page, I didn't think to look at the help page.
Now, using cat and not print line-by-line the first set of commands work,
but not the second.
More reading coming up.
