[R] re-direct to "more" or "less"

[Søren Højsgaard]

Something like

less <- function(a){
  fn <- paste(tempdir(),"\\dataframe.txt",sep='',collapse='')
  write.table(a, quote=F, file=fn)
  system(paste("less ",fn))
}

could perhaps help you (assuming that you have less on your computer). I agree that it would be very nice to have a built-in version...
