[R] Print to the cmd line in a script

[Michael Bedward]

Is this what you want ?

printCount <- function(N) {
  for (i in 1:N) {
    cat(i, "\n")
  }
}

Depending on your platform, output from the print function may not
appear until after your function has finished. You can try using
flush.console() to give it a nudge...

printCount <- function(N) {
  for (i in 1:N) {
    print(i)
    flush.console()
  }
}
