Dear Group! I asked write.table to change the decimal point from "." to
"," , but apparently it would only do so if the object to be written
does not contain any character elements. I would like to understand, why
this has to be so and - of course - find a solution for my matrix object
jjmat, that I tried to write out by
write.table(jjmat, file="jjmat.txt", row.names=TRUE,
col.names=NA,sep="\t",dec=",")
I also tried "options(OutDec=",")" , which changes the presentation on
the console, but seems to have no influence on write table: jjmat is
still written out with points instead of commas.
The object looks like this:
> jjmat
f2a1 f2b1 f5a1 f5b1 f5c1
rowname1 "coltext1" "coltext2" "coltext3" "coltext4" "coltext5"
rowname2 4,428571 4,326531 4,265306 3,959184 3,306122
rowname3 0,469665 0,3328301 0,1776079 -0,1758072 0,0870965
rowname4 4,275862 4,206897 4,137931 3,931034 3,379310
> deparse(jjmat)
[1] "structure(list(\"coltext1\", 4.42857142857143, 0.469664970752337, "

[6] " 3.37931034482759), .Dim = c(4, 5), .Dimnames =
list(c(\"rowname1\", "
[7] "\"rowname2\", \"rowname3\", \"rowname4\"), c(\"f2a1\", \"f2b1\",
\"f5a1\", "
[8] "\"f5b1\", \"f5c1\")))"
Do I have to change the structure of jjmat? Thanks for your comments!
Greetings,
Michael
