RE: [R] Simple question about export
Well, you did not specify the object to save in write.table(). Suppose you want to save the following: x - matrix( c(1:25), nrow=5) write.table(x, file=c:/my.output.file.txt) If all goes well, you should see the prompt without any message. Also use / rather than \ as it is reserved for escape sequences. You might also consider setting the option sep=\t and quote=FALSE to make it truly tab-delimited file. There is also row.names, col.name option. Try reading the R Data Import/Export or write.table() again. -Original Message- From: Michael Miettinen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 9:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [R] Simple question about export Hi, Sorry about making this stupid question, but I did not find the answer from documentation.

RE: [R] Simple question about export
If that is what you tried, then you didn't supply the object to the write.table function. e.g. if your data.frame is called mydata in R you need write.table(mydata,c:/foo/data.dat) The file is ascii. Note also that you either have to use forward slashes (as above) or double backslashes write.table(mydata,c:\\foo\\data.dat) R doesn't do the expected thing with single backslashes as you wrote it. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Michael Miettinen Sent: 12 March 2003 15:13 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [R] Simple question about export Hi, Sorry about making this stupid question, but I did not find the answer from documentation.
