[R] print comment lines on `sink'ed files?
Hi, I am using many comment lines like this # a comment line in a script. Is there any way to print comment lines when I use sink() function? Or, are there any plans to include as an option to sink() function in the near future? I would not want to use cat() function as it will look messy in the original script file. Thanks!

Since you are using script files, you may not need to use R in an interactive session. One suggestion under unix would be: cunegonde:~ R --no-save --quiet test saved cunegonde:~ cat saved # a comment line i-1:10 outer(i,i,*) [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [,9] [,10] [1,]12345678910 [2,]2468 10 12 14 16 1820 [3,]369 12 15 18 21 24 2730 [4,]48 12 16 20 24 28 32 3640 [5,]5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 4550 [6,]6 12 18 24 30 36 42 48 5460 [7,]7 14 21 28 35 42 49 56 6370 [8,]8 16 24 32 40 48 56 64 7280 [9,]9 18 27 36 45 54 63 72 8190 [10,] 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 # the end All commands including comments appear in the saved output.

Re: [R] print comment lines on `sink'ed files?
Thanks for your help, Phillipe. You're right; I don't need to use sink() function. I was using R for windows in an interactive mode and have totally forgotten about batch mode. For others' reference I opened up a command prompt and typed in: Rterm --no-save --quiet test.R test.log and created test.log gave me the results I wanted.
