I probably shouldn't be replying, as I believe this may require system specific tricks that I don't know. To that end, you should probably provide the minimum required information (e.g. from sessionInfo() + any other OS/shell info) requested by the posting guide.
AFAIK, this can't be done in R. The history mechanism -- ?history -- (details of which are system dependent) records typed commands. sink() records output.

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. I tried some variations (based on the explanations in the help) but am missing something on how to make it work. Any suggestions?
