Re: [R] Fw: Re: Is there anything like a write.fwf() or possibility to print adata.frame without rownames?
Hi can you please explain why do you need it? What do you want to do with the exported file? I wonder what type of software can not accept any reasonable delimiter and requires fwf files. The only workaround I can imagine is to transfer all columns to character and add leading spaces to each item which is shorter than longest item in specified column to equalize length of all items in column and then use write.table( tab, file.txt, sep= , row.names=F) as suggested. But I still wonder why? If you used e.g. write.table( tab, file.xls, sep=\t, row.names=F) you can open it directly by spreadsheet program just by clickung on it and everything shall be properly aligned.

Why don't you just use 'sprintf' and set the format up to what you want: x - head(iris) cat(sprintf(%6.1f%6.1f%6.1f%6.1f %-20s\n, x[,1], x[,2], x[,3], x[,4], x[,5]), sep='') 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 On 11/22/05, Gabor Grothendieck [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 11/22/05, Gorjanc Gregor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi can you please explain why do you need it?

Re: [R] Fw: Re: Is there anything like a write.fwf() or possibility to print adata.frame without rownames?
If you are desperate, save the file as tab delimited and then use vi or some stream editor to convert the tabs to spaces. If you set the tab stop wide enough you should be able to guarantee uniform columns.

Send reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear R users, R has read.fwf() function, however I would need write.fwf. I know other write.* functions, but I need fixed width format of data, which I would like to export from R. I tried to use: - write.table, but I can not control alignment of columns - write.matrix from MASS, but columns are to wide I came to this option, which is very neat: # tmp is data.frame sink(file = file) print(tmp) sink() This works very nice, but I would like to get rid of rownames, which are always printed. Another not so important issue is width of printed columns. I presume this is determined by max(length column name, max(length of values in a column)) but sometimes it would be usefull to control width of columns also.
