Backport of capture.output for R < 3.3.0 — capture.output • backports

Argument type has been backported. See the original description in utils::capture.output.

capture.output(
  ...,
  file = NULL,
  append = FALSE,
  type = c("output", "message"),
  split = FALSE
)

Examples

# get function from namespace instead of possibly getting
# implementation shipped with recent R versions:
bp_capture.output <- getFromNamespace("capture.output", "backports")

captured <- bp_capture.output({ message("hi") }, type = "message")
#> hi
str(captured)
#>  chr(0)
