Hi,

sorry for the last sentence, i was trying to make a generic statement by
writing "function"
So the code has to be:

# Save error mesage:
   error1  <-  file("error1.txt", open="wt")
   sink(error1, type="message")
   experiment <- somefunction(data)

(I mean  no matter what function is...)

error1 is not a variable, y can't watch what contains, it is only the
definition of a file....

What i wanted was in fact to create a variable with the error message, I can
do it of course by reading the file, but my question is about doing it
directly.
Thanks
