"This is why sink() has the split=TRUE option, which logs output to a connection and sends it to the screen. The R sink("analysis.log",split=TRUE) is almost identical to the Stata log using analysis.log with sink() to close the log and flush to disk at the end of the session." I've alre

Put the objects that you want to save in a 'list' and then 'save' the list. You can build up the contents of the list dynamically in your program and then save it at the appropriate point. On Thu, Aug 20, 2009 at 10:59 AM, Rakknar wrote: > > "To echo what others have said, it is often easier to w
