Dear all, I have a simple question. I couldn't find a solution in the forums/R-user manual; I have also asked to my friends who use R, but couldn't get any answer from them either. I would appreciate any solutions.
I want to write formatted text file like in Fortran. More specifically with the format choice of mine for any given line (more specifics are given below). The R function read.fortran() read files like in Fortran, but I couldn't find any function to write files in a similar way.. Since I want different formats for different lines, write(), write.table(), write.fwf() functions didn't work for me. Thanks for your time Ray ########## ########## In Fortran ########## real dummy3(3) real dummy4(4) real dummy2(2) dummy3 = (/1.1, 2.2, 3.3/) dummy4 = (/4.4, 5.5, 6.6, 7.7/) dummy2 = (/8.8, 9.9/) OPEN(UNIT=320,FILE='output.dat',FORM='FORMATTED') write(320,501) dummy3 write(320,502) dummy4 write(320,503) dummy2 close(320) 501 format(F5.1,F6.2,F7.3) 502 format(F5.2,F6.3,F7.4,F8.5) 503 format(F5.3,F6.4) ########## ########## This should produce an output something like below (I used * instead of the spaces) **1.1**2.20***3.300 *4.40*5.500**6.6000*7.70000 8.8009.9000 And a function in [R] that will enable me to write something like above is what I am looking for.. ########## ########## ########## ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
