It is unfortunately not quite clear to me what do you want. I think if you
want to get _output from cat()_ into a data frame, the only possibility is
to save the region into a file and then read in as data frame (using
read.table(... row.names=T).

I would rather suggest to do it

a) automatically, using sink() to redirect the output to a file, and then
reading the file in again, perhaps correcting for some syntax problems as
------ signs in your example, and thereafter read it in as a data.frame.

b) without any printing at all, putting values directly into a data.frame
instead. It depends on, what you actually are doing.

You should explain better, if I was completely missing the point.
