So it looks like the problem is with the mac GUI. Here are a couple
more things to test.
Try it with just sink and see if the output comes through. Also try
with some other functions besides date (maybe summary(rnorm(100))).
If there are other Mac users out there reading this, can some of you
try as well and see if you get similar results?
Greg;
Running the example on your txtStart help page did not seem to produce
any file output that the Finder.app interface recognized as being
created on this date. However that app does not do a full systemwide
search.
Then ... running the system() calls to enscript and ps2pdf did
produce evidence that <somewhere> an external log existed, since I got
ps and pdf files with the message and histogram (but no console input).

Subject: Re: [R] Can I save my console contents automatically?
Hello Greg,
Thank you for your comment.
I had a chance to use Windows GUI R and I found several interesting
differences between Mac and Windows GUI R.
1. txtStart() command
- Windows GUI R - worked perfectly
- Mac GUI R version.string R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31) (both
32bit and 64bit) - only make a null file
- Mac R version.string R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31) on terminal
window - worked perfectly
(I also checked the permissions, but they were OK.)
2. Console
- Mac GUI R can display very long results and can save them from
the file menu (manually).
- Windows GUI R can only short results and can save only the
displayed results from the file menu.
3. sink()
- Mac GUI R - split = TRUE worked.
- Windows GUI R -split = TRUE didn't work (log on the file, but
didn't display the results on the console).
Thanks.
Nobu
Currently comments (#) are ignored by txtStart and friends due to
the
task callback mechanism used. The txtComment function is available
as
a work around to insert comments into the output/commands.
I tried running date() as below and everything worked as expected
(the comments were missing, but the date command and result were in
the
file. I am running on windows where it looks like you are running on
unix or linux. Can you send your OS and version of R and
TeachingDemos? Also what are the permissions on the logtest.txt file
that is created? (I've seen problems where the permissions for a
directory allowed the creating of a file, but the default permissions
on the file then do not allow modification).

Hello David and Greg,
Thank you for your suggestions. These really help me.
I'm curious about txtStart function of TeachingDemos library. It
looks
exactly what I need.
So I installed TeachingDemos library and tried following.
-----
library(TeachingDemos)
setwd("/Users/NOBU/Documents/R_data/")
txtStart("logtest.txt", commands = TRUE, results = TRUE, append =
FALSE)
#Top of commands
date()
#End of commands
txtStop()
---
Then I got following outputs on my console window, but I only got a
null file named "logtest.txt".
I tried several times by trial and error, but I couldn't find the
solution to log outputs on the logtest.txt.
---
library(TeachingDemos)
setwd("/Users/NOBU/Documents/R_data/")
txtStart("logtest.txt", commands = TRUE, results = TRUE, append =
FALSE)
Output being copied to text file,
use txtStop to end
txt>
txt> #Top of commands
txt> date()
[1] "Thu Sep 16 07:16:29 2010"
txt> #End of commands
txt>
txt> txtStop()
Thank you for your help!

Dear All,
I found a following solution from
"http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/";.
However this command can save only the result.
Is there any good solution to save both commands themselves and
the
results.
Thank you for your help.
sink("Filename_here.log", type=c("output","message"), split=TRUE)
# Put commands here
# However this method save only the results.
sink()

Dear All,
I'm using R for Mac OS X Cocoa GUI R version 2.11.1.
I can save contents of my console window by using "command + s",
but
I
would like to do same thing using R commands.
My question is can I save the contents automatically by using R
editor
with some R commands.
Thank you.
Nobu
