verbose=T - con feature request #775
Description
Activity
This could be done globally, not just for fread. Maybe new option which controls if verbose goes to stdout or into connection.
I believe this could be handled with
sink. Still interested to manage this throughverboseor easier to let end user handle thesink()ing?Reacted by Jan GoreckiI think
sink()is appropriate here. An alternative would be to makecatf()actually signal a low-priority condition that user could trap withglobalCallingHandlers()... not much interest anyway.
Hi,
when fread use verbose=T a lot of usefull messages is goint to stdout. If stdout is terminal it takes a time... I propose to add "con" arguments to redirect this message to alternative file connection. It will be usefull when debuging batch import... Good example is writeLines from {base} pkg.
Best regards
