Hi all,
I am trying to use type message with sink, like this:
sink("all.Rout", type="message")
1+3
sink()
readLines(con = "all.Rout")
So to get the following output:
1+3
[1] 4
Obviously this doesn't work.
What are you trying to do? The sink help page has two rather dire
warnings about not using type="message", and using type="output would
give you what you ask:

[1] "[1] 4"
The extra "[1]" and quotes are from the readLines function, not from
all.Rout.
I tried some variations (based on the explanations in the help) but am
missing something on how to make it work.
Any suggestions?
(p.s: I need this so to help Faiz Rasool in his latest post)
Thanks,
Tal
