Suppress print from summary on auto.arima model

I checked the function invisible and quietly from the purrr package, but I couldn't work it out. I'm sorry if it has already been asked.

I have something like this:

library(forecast)

mod <- auto.arima(AirPassengers)
summary_mod <- summary(mod) # this always makes a print of the summary
rmse <- summary_mod[2]

I wanted to save the rmse from the model, but with summary I can't find a way to kill the auto print function.

I've tried:

summary_mod <- invisible(summary(mod))

library(purrr)
summary_mod <- quietly(summary(mod))

I've found out that I can use:

accuracy(mod)[2]
# [1] 10.84619

But I was wondering if I can get a solution that suppress the print function, just for possible future needs.

Perhaps you could sink() the output, like this:

mod <- auto.arima(AirPassengers)
sink("~temp.txt") #create temp file (you might replace ~ with desired working directory)
summary_mod <-summary(mod) #does not print anything now in R console, only in temp.txt file
sink(NULL) #use this to stop sinking the output
rmse <- summary_mod[2] #this still works now

You can use capture.output.

summary_mod <- capture.output(summary(mod))[14]
