I am running your OS (though it would also be nice if you reported the results of sessionInfo() ). In any case, this worked for me on R 2.12.0 (i386-pc-mingw32): for(i in 1:6) {Sys.sleep(3); print(i); flush.console()} For your problem, I imagine something like (though untested because no data): for (i in 1:23194) { dat.stat[i,c(2:8)]<-quantile(dat.bat[BL==block[i],2],prob=c(0,0.025,0.25,0.5,0.75,0.975,1)) print(i) flush.console() } > >> Thanks again, >> >> Antônio Olitno >> >> >> Citando Adrienne Wootten <amwoo...@ncsu.edu>: >> >>> instead of print use this >>> >>> message(i) >>> >>> the message command is used for things like this and it will print the >>> value >>> of i as you are looping through, but you can also do this: >>> >>> message("Counter value is: ",i) >>> >>> which returns for i = 20 for example >>> >>> "Counter value is 20" >>> >>> for more check out the message help section in the html >>> >>> ? message >>> >>> >>> Adrienne Wootten >>> NCSU >>> >>> On Thu, Oct 21, 2010 at 2:05 PM, Antonio Olinto >>> <aolint...@bignet.com.br>wrote: >>> >>>> Hello, >>>> >>>> About looping, consider the example: >>>> >>>> for (i in 1:23194) { >>>> >>>> >>>> dat.stat[i,c(2:8)]<-quantile(dat.bat[BL==block[i],2],prob=c(0,0.025,0.25,0.5,0.75,0.975,1)) >>>> print(i) >>>> } >>>> >>>> I'd like to have the value of "i" printed for each loop (step).
