Hi Greg,
That's indeed the solution. Thanks for updating the package. I'm looking
forward to see it on CRAN.
kind regards,
Jan

Subject: Re: [R] issue with ... in write.fwf in gdata
To: janwijff...@hotmail.com

Hi Jan,
The issue isn't that the ... arguments aren't passed on. Rather, the problem
is that in the current implementation the ... arguments are passed to format(),
which doesn't understand the "eol" argument.
The solution is to modify write.fwf() to explicitly accept all of the
appropriate the arguments for write.table() and to only pass the ... arguments
to format() and format.info().
I've just modified gdata to make this change, and have submitted the new
version to CRAN as gdata version 2.8.1.

Dear R-list
This is just message to inform that the there is an issue with write.fwf in the
gdata library (from version 2.5.0 on). It does not seem to accept further
arguments to write.table like "eol" as the help file indicates as it stops when
executing tmp <- lapply(x, format.info, ...).
Great package though - I use it a lot except for this function :)
See example below.
> require(gdata)
> saveto <- tempfile(pattern = "test.txt", tmpdir = tempdir())
> write.fwf(x = data.frame(a=1:length(LETTERS), b=LETTERS), file=saveto,
> eol="\r\n")
Error in FUN(X[[1L]], ...) : unused argument(s) (eol = "\r\n")
