Lightweight logging for R scripts.
Installing
luzlogr is available from CRAN, and can be installed using install.packages(). To install the latest, developmental version from this GitHub repository:
- Make sure you have
devtoolsinstalled from CRAN and loaded. install_github("bpbond/luzlogr")
Either way, you can then do:
library(luzlogr)
help(package = 'luzlogr')
Logging
Three functions - openlog(), printlog(), closelog() - provide logging of script output. They provide features including priority levels for logs and messages; optionally capturing all output (via sink); switching between logs; and logging to a text file or arbitrary connection. For example:
openlog("test.log")
printlog("message")
closelog()
The resulting log file test.log looks something like this:
Thu Sep 17 08:46:59 2015 Opening ./test.log
Thu Sep 17 08:46:59 2015 message
Thu Sep 17 08:46:59 2015 Closing test.log flags = 0
