Look at txtStart and friends in the TeachingDemos package as an
alternative to sink that includes commands as well as output.
Know the quality of Greg Snows work it will probably be better than
mine, but perhaps:
> capfn <- function(inp) {
+ instring <- deparse(substitute(inp))
+ capture.output(instring, inp, file="all.Rout") }
> capfn(1+3)
The file looks like this:
[1] "1 + 3"
[1] 4

Subject: Re: [R] Getting sink to work with "message" on R 2.11.0 -
what
did I miss?
Hi David,
I want to get both the 4 and the "1+3" that created it.
I am trying to help someone else on the mailing list that is looking
for a
way to "sink" the console into word, so he could have word read it to
him
(he is blind).
I know how to do the second part, but the first part (using sink with
the
commands, and not just the output), I am somehow missing...
Best,
Tal

Hi all,
I am trying to use type message with sink, like this:
sink("all.Rout", type="message")
1+3
sink()
readLines(con = "all.Rout")
So to get the following output:
1+3
[1] 4
Obviously this doesn't work.
What are you trying to do? The sink help page has two rather dire
warnings
about not using type="message", and using type="output would give
you what
you ask:
sink("all.Rout", type="output")
1+3
sink()
readLines(con = "all.Rout")
[1] "[1] 4"
The extra "[1]" and quotes are from the readLines function, not from
all.Rout.
I tried some variations (based on the explanations in the help) but
am
missing something on how to make it work.
Any suggestions?
(p.s: I need this so to help Faiz Rasool in his latest post)
Thanks,
Tal
