Hi, I'm using R2.8.1 in windows vista and the scan function to load in my data. That works all fine except that I get a message after the scan function finishes. It tells me how many items the function has read. For example "Read 202035 items". That would not be a problem but this is printed in the stderr stream which causes a problem in a different software I run the r scipt in. I have no way to influence this other software. Any suggestions how to avoid this message getting printed. I tried optionsoptions(warn=-1) which obviously dos not work because it is not a warning but options(show.error.messages=F) does not work either. Thanks for your help Christoph

Type
help(scan)
or
?scan
to see scan's help file, which includes:
quiet: logical: if ?FALSE? (default), scan() will print a line,
saying how many items have been read.
So adding quiet=TRUE to your call to scan will suppress the message.
