Hi,
I would like to know how to capture the console output from running an
algorithm for further analysis. I can capture this using capture.output() but
that yields a character vector. I would like to extract the actual numeric
values. Here is an example of what I am trying to do.
fr <- function(x) { ## Rosenbrock Banana function
on.exit(print(f))
x1 <- x[1]
x2 <- x[2]
f <- 100 * (x2 - x1 * x1)^2 + (1 - x1)^2
f
}
fvals <- capture.output(ans <- optim(c(-1.2,1), fr))
Now, `fvals' contains character elements, but I would like to obtain the actual
numerical values. How can I do this?
Thanks very much for any suggestions.
Best,
Ravi.
