David -
You can do what you want pretty easily using sink.
Suppose you want the source code for function "blah"
in the file "blah.func":
sink('blah.func')
print(blah)
sink()

There is quite a long piece of code defining a certain function in one of the

I think the code has a bug and I want to get the code into a file so that I
can take a proper look, and possibly fix it.
how does one do this? (I mean getting the code into a file, not fixing the
bug.) I suppose I could copy and paste, but that's a bit error prone for
various reasons. I want the same arrangement of code formatting as in the
original---copy and paste often messes this up.
I tried using as.character(functionname) but that wasn't at all appreciated.
I tried searching the archives of this forum but couldn't figure out
exactly what to search for (got too many hits). I also tried Google, but
that was also no help.
Thanks
