R help - Jan 2013 - exporting simulated data

Dear All,

I wrote a function datagen to simulate a dataset. I would like to generate
1000 datasets and export them with file names from data0001.dat to
data1000.dat. Would anybody please provide some useful codes on this? Thank
you very much.

Best Regards,
Ray

Rather unspecific.

Basically you'd need a loop to create the sets, and a way to write them into
a file.

You did not specify the format of your data. You might be able to use write,
write.table or write.csv and the like.
You could also have a look at ?save which allows you to save any R object.

You also did not specify how important that filename format is. For example:

for(i in 1:5){
	#create data
	someData <- i
	#create filename
	filename<-paste("data",i,".dat",sep="")
	#save data
	write(someData,filename)
}

This would make unique filenames but not quite what you wanted.

greetings,
Jessi
