Hi,
I need to create a text file in the following format, > 1 100.0 0 > 0 0 > 1 1 > 0 0 > 1 1 > # > 1 100.0 0 > 0 0 > 0 1 > 1 0 > 1 1 ... where # is part of the format and not a R comment. Each block (delimited by #) consists of a first line with three values, call it dose, and a list of (x,y) coordinates which are a matrix or data.frame, > particle <- list(dose=c(1,100.0,0),pos=data.frame(x=c(0,1,0,1),y=c > (0,1,0,1))) > > print(particle) I'd like to establish a connection to a file and append to it a "particle" block in the format above, or even write the whole file at once. Because different lines have a different number of elements, I couldn't get write.table to work in this case, and my attempts at sink (), dump(), writeLines(), writeChar() all turn into really dirty solutions. I have this feeling I'm overlooking a simple solution. Any help welcome, baptiste _____________________________ Baptiste Auguié Physics Department University of Exeter Stocker Road, Exeter, Devon, EX4 4QL, UK Phone: +44 1392 264187 http://newton.ex.ac.uk/research/emag http://projects.ex.ac.uk/atto ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org 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.
