Hi everybody, any idea why showMethods fails with the following error when printTo is set to false, i.e. to return the output as a character vector. It works fine if printTo is left default as seen below. The behaviour is consistent for any method I tried. stdin() generally works fine on this system, at least when checked with: x = readLines().
Thanks, Oleg > x = showMethods("plot", printTo=FALSE) Error in cat(file = printTo, sep = "", ...) : cannot switch output to stdin Enter a frame number, or 0 to exit 1: showMethods("plot", printTo = FALSE) 2: .showMethodsTable(fdef, includeDefs, inherited, classes = classes, showEmpt 3: doFun(f, p) 4: cf("Function: ", func, " (package ", pkg, ")\n") 5: cat(file = printTo, sep = "", ...)
