Output a message while inside a loop

Description

NOTE: utils::txtProgressBar() and utils::setTxtProgressBar() are better. Output a message while inside a for loop to update the user on progress. This function is useful in tracking progress when the number of iterations is large or the procedures in each iteration take a long time.

Usage

loop(i, n = NULL, every = 1, extra = NULL)

Arguments

i	The index value used in the loop.
n	The last entry in the loop.
every	The number of loops between messages.
extra	Additional information to print.
