[R] How to write the entire session to file?
savehistory writes all the executed lines from the session. How can I write everything (executed lines and output) from the active session to a file? Using Edit | Select All then Edit Copy, I can copy everything to the clipboard and write the whole thing to a file manually. If I just used the clipboard, I can paste the whole content into another edittor (for documentation). Is there a way to copy the content of the session with the syntax colouring? Thanks.

If you save the session into a file with the extension R.out, and then open it in ESS in emacs, you will get the syntax highlighting.

Re: [R] How to write the entire session to file?
A different approach is to use the etxtStart function in the TeachingDemos package. You need to run this before you start, then it will save everything (commands and output and plots if you tell it to) to a file that can then be post processed to give a file that shows basic coloring (or with options in the post processing, even more coloring). Though it may be better to just run your R session through an editor like ESS/emacs or others. -- Gregory (Greg) L.
