Adjust Gap Between The Lines In R Console

Solution 1:

Interesting, it seems that when print-ing a vector, the longest element decides how all elements will be spaced.

Your longest string is txt[374]: on my screen, it takes 19 lines; that means every element of txt will be printed using 19 lines, with possibly a lot of white space.

You don't have that problem when printing a list, so a solution is to do:

print(as.list(txt))

Solution 2:

Try to use gsub() for replacing space by nothing.
