Well, I'll put a foo example of my problem: I'got a list:
>a <- list() >a$sublist.1 <- list() >a$sublist.1$subsublist.1 <- list() this code works: >zz <- file("foo.txt","w") >sink(zz) >a >sink() >close(zz) and generates a correct "foo.txt" file containing the structure of the list but this code doesn't: >for(i in 1){ zz <- file("foo.txt","w") sink(zz) a sink() close(zz) } as the resulting "foo.txt" file is empty I don't understand why.
