How can I redirect R's output from the console to a file

Question

[biomagician]

Dear all,

I am running this command:

Rsubread::buildindex(basename='output/genome/ref/index/subread/celegans',reference="output/genome/ref/seq/celegans.fa")

to build an index for the C. elegans genome. R then outputs lots of interesting information to the console.

Do you know how I can redirect that output to a file?

Thanks.

C.

If you are running this in some R environment I think sink() function will do that read here
