Hi, 2 questions: Question 1: example of what I currently do: for(i in 1:6){sink(temp.txt,append=TRUE) dput(i+0) sink()} x=scan(file=temp.txt) print(prod(x)) file.remove(C:/R-2.5.0/temp.txt) But how to convert the output of the loop to a vector that I can manipulate (by prod or sum etc),

for question 1, is this what you want (BTW allocate 'result' to the size you want - the example keeps extending it which is OK for small numbers, but for larger size preallocate): result - numeric(0) for (i in 1:6) result[i] - i result [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 prod(result) [1] 720 On 7/29/07,
