I would like to turn off all the messages during library(aPackage) or require(aPackage) I tried different commands: invisible, capture.output, sink but none of them is working. For example, loading VGAM, gives a lot of unnecessary messages: > library(VGAM) Attaching package: 'VGAM' The following object(s) are masked from package:splines : bs The following object(s) are masked from package:splines : ns The following object(s) are masked from package:boot : logit The following object(s) are masked from package:boot : simplex The following object(s) are masked from package:stats : glm The following object(s) are masked from package:stats : lm The following object(s) are masked from package:stats : poly The following object(s) are masked from package:stats : predict.glm The following object(s) are masked from package:stats : predict.lm The following object(s) are masked from package:stats : predict.mlm The following object(s) are masked from package:base : scale.default Any hint/help will be appreciated. --------------------------------- Expecting?
