Sweave and R output: possible to suppress "Schunk" tags in *.tex file output?

Hello,

I would like to fill the rows of a Latex tabular environment with output from
R, as in

\begin{table}
  \caption{Table caption.} 
  \label{tab:events}
  \begin{tabular}{c r r r r r}
  \hline

<<echo=false,results=tex>>=
fill.my.table.rows()
@

  \end{tabular}
\end{table}

Sweave produces the output inside \begin{Schunk} and \end{Schunk} commands,
which latex doesn't tolerate within a table.  I would prefer to avoid writing all of
the Latex table code from R.  Is my only other option to produce a separate
text file, e.g. under Sweave with results=hide, then use \input{} on the file?

Thanks,

results=tex will do what you want, i.e., produce no Soutput and Schunk
environments. you may also want to look at package xtable.

Oops, that's a bug in Sweave ... the Schunk shouldn't be there in that
case. I will fix it for 1.9.0.

Just to add, the function latex() in the Hmisc package is also quite good.
