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.
