Multiple aov outputs with titles in one text file

Hello,

I need some help on figuring out how to add titles to multiple outputs into one text file. I have tried to use the cat() and sink() function but it's not really producing the output I want. Here is an example of what I want. For example say that I have 3 linear models: 

model1 --> lm(weight~variety, data=testdat)
model2 --> lm(height ~ variety, data = testdat)
model3 ---> lm(N2conc ~ variety, data =testdat) 

aov(model1)
aov(model2)
aov(model3)

I want to make a text file that has a list of all the anovas with the model for each anova in a text file. I want something like this:

**Anova_output.txt**

model1 --> lm(weight~variety, data=testdat) ### I want model as the title so I can distinguish each anova data
[anova data of model 1]

model2 --> lm(height ~ variety, data = testdat)
[anova data of model 2]

model3 ---> lm(N2conc ~ variety, data =testdat) 
[anova data model3]

Any guidance on this would be helpful. Thanks!

Hello

This seems to be for only one model. I was looking for something with multiple models all into one text file.

aov already stores that information in $call, try this example:

for(i in c("cyl", "disp")){
  f <- as.formula(paste("mpg", i, sep = "~"))
  x <- aov(lm(f, mtcars))
  x$call <- f
  capture.output(x, file = "tmp_1.txt", append = i!="cyl")
}

Anova_output.txt

Call:
   mpg ~ cyl

Terms:

Sum of Squares  817.7130  308.3342
