Hi, and thanks in advance for your time.
Background - I am working on a package and wish to have a routine's
progress reported. The routine can take some time, and I would like to
inform the user about the routine's progress. I have scoured the
archives but to no avail, so would like to solicit input from this list.
I am successfully using
cat("\rBootstrap replication ", i, " of ", boot.num,)
flush.console() # To flush stdout on windows systems
which works as expected on *NIX systems and using Rterm under windows.
However, under Rgui the carriage return \r is ignored, and I certainly
don't want to use the newline escape sequence \n. Under Rgui it appears
as
Bootstrap replication 1 of 399Bootstrap replication 2 of 399Bootstrap...
but I want it to function properly if at all possible.
My question is simply whether there is a portable way to implement this
so that it works regardless of the R platform the user may be working
on?
Many thanks for any/all suggestions.
