[R] Text Vector Printing And Storage

[Pfaff, Bernhard]

how about: ?write

something like:

your.text <- c(date(), "insert name of your R object", "==== end ====")
write(your.text, "your-text.txt", append=TRUE)

date() and "==== end ====" should help you to separate your daily changing
character vectors.

File | Print works fine for me; have you checked your printer
settings?
