[Gretl-users] foreign block: no printouts from R

Hi all, I'm currently using the foreign block and specialized (user-defined) R functions a bit more seriously. I'm noticing that the output from print() calls inside the R functions does not seem to make it to the outside. Consider the following minimal example: <hansl> set R_functions on foreign language=R     Rfunc<-function(a){         print("hello from R") # doesn't get printed         out = 1000     } end foreign function void gretlfunc(void)     scalar z = R.Rfunc(1)     print z end function gretlfunc() </hansl> I'm seeing the result 1000 being printed from the gretl side, but not the string "hello from R". Inside my gretl dotdir (on Windows) I have the file Rsrc which contains the following line: sink("C:/Users/<myuserid>/AppData/Roaming/gretl/R.out", type="output") but I don't have this corresponding R.out file. My theory is that this sink() thing only works when the R source itself also contains the function call, but not when I use the very nice feature and call the function from the gretl side. Right? The use case for me right now is "only" to get debugging statements printed out, but in general I guess an R function might also contain some more important printouts. thanks sven
