Re: sending output to a file

["Neil Hepburn" <nhepburn@ualberta.ca>]

use sink("path/filename") first, then run your analysis (all output is directed to the file that you specify in the sink() command). To return output back to the screen, use sink()

 

Note that the file and path name uses / slashes instead of the conventional \ windows slashed.  For example, putting the output in C:\Mydata\testfile.txt would be

 

sink("C:/Mydata/testfile.txt")

Subject: [S] sending output to a file

 

 

Dear all,

 

I'm new to this list and to Splus. I'm performing a cluster analysis using kmeans. I would like to send the screen ouput from kmeans to a specific file and append that file. I can't get "cat" or "write" commands to format the output in the same way it is displayed on the screen. Can someone assist me with this query. Thanks for your help in advance.

 

Regards,

Martyn
