Print, cat, paste in R separated by newline character

output-formatting, r

Solution

Try:

cat(paste(1:3), sep="\n")
1
2
3

Problem

I want to do the print the elements of a vector line by line in R like below `1` `2` `3` However, when I do `paste(c(1,2,3), "\n")` or `paste(c(1,2,3),sep = "\n")`, the new line never gets printed out. The same thing goes for `cat` as well. I always get the following: `"1" "2" "3"` I would like to know to get around this problem.
