[R] usign system() both quietly and quickly

[Henrik Andersson]

I try to run an external application (A diffusive transport model 
programmed in Fortran 95) in a loop using the approach

for(i in 1:100) {
1. write parameters[i] to inputfile for application
2. Run application using system("application.exe")
3. Read output written to a file by application to a list
}


The thing that annoys me is I can not figure out how to suppress the 
output from this application to the screen. If I use 
system(...,intern=T) it takes much longer to complete and is obviously 
not what I want.

Any ideas?

Have a nice weekend!
