R: Send R Output to a File

sink {base}

R Documentation

Send R Output to a File

Diverts all R output to file, overwriting the file unless append is TRUE.

sink(file = NULL, append = FALSE)

file

a character string naming the file to write to, or NULL to stop “sink”ing.

append

if TRUE, output will be appended to file; otherwise, it will overwrite the contents of file.

Only prompts and error messages continue to appear on the terminal.

sink() or sink(file=NULL) ends the diversion.

sink("sink-examp.txt")
i <- 1:10
outer(i,i,"*")
sink()
unlink("sink-examp.txt")
