[R] Noob question re: writing while loops on one line

[Sun Shine]

Brilliant Jim - that does the trick!!

I guess then that the semi-colon rule works for any program or function 
that is being written on one line?

Any reason why when writing this out in the RStudio source editor no 
semi-colon is required, but it is when written in the interactive console?

Thanks again

Sun
