1. You can use dput. Suppose x is a data frame. Then dput(x)
will output x as R code. e.g.
> dput(head(iris))
structure(list(Sepal.Length = c(5.1, 4.9, 4.7, 4.6, 5, 5.4),
Sepal.Width = c(3.5, 3, 3.2, 3.1, 3.6, 3.9), Petal.Length = c(1.4,
1.4, 1.3, 1.5, 1.4, 1.7), Petal.Width = c(0.2, 0.2, 0.2,
0.2, 0.2, 0.4), Species = structure(c(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1), .Label =
c("setosa",
"versicolor", "virginica"), class = "factor")), .Names = c("Sepal.Length",
"Sepal.Width", "Petal.Length", "Petal.Width", "Species"), row.names = c("1",
"2", "3", "4", "5", "6"), class = "data.frame")
You can now copy and paste iris.head <- ...the output you just got...
into your script, i.e. you can now put this into your script:
iris.head <- structure(list(Sepal.Length = c(5.1, 4.9, 4.7, 4.6, 5, 5.4),
Sepal.Width = c(3.5, 3, 3.2, 3.1, 3.6, 3.9), Petal.Length = c(1.4,
1.4, 1.3, 1.5, 1.4, 1.7), Petal.Width = c(0.2, 0.2, 0.2,
0.2, 0.2, 0.4), Species = structure(c(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1), .Label =
c("setosa",
"versicolor", "virginica"), class = "factor")), .Names = c("Sepal.Length",
"Sepal.Width", "Petal.Length", "Petal.Width", "Species"), row.names = c("1",
"2", "3", "4", "5", "6"), class = "data.frame")
2. Another more readable way is to do this:
Lines <- "Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species
5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa
4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 setosa
4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 setosa
4.6 3.1 1.5 0.2 setosa
5.0 3.6 1.4 0.2 setosa
5.4 3.9 1.7 0.4 setosa"
iris.head <- read.table(textConnection(Lines), header = TRUE)
