Windows 2000, updated R and packages. could somebody pleaseeeeeeeee help with saving a data.frame with column names into "\t" text files for later importing in other programs? It seems an easy task, yet... it beats me. thanks, Mihai Nica Jackson State University [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
?write.table
setwd("c:\\temp")
myDF <- data.frame(A = rnorm(100), B = rnorm(100))
write.table(myDF, file = "myDF.dat", sep = "\t", quote = F,
row.names F)
HTH, Andy

It seems an easy task, yet... it beats me.See ?write.table You want to use something like write.table(myDataFrame, file = "myTabSeparatedFile.txt", sep = "\t")
many thanks to everybody... indeed it was simple, and i should have found the answer myself, since i DID read the R Data Import/Export manual... maybe it's the age :-) Mihai Nica Jackson State University [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

It seems an easy task, yet... it beats me.It's in the R Data Import/Export manual and in the help file ?write.table (hint: argument sep = "\t"). Uwe Ligges

It seems an easy task, yet... it beats me.write.table(mydf, file="foo.tbl", sep="\t", col.names=T) Where mydf is your data frame. If you don't want quoting you can also add 'quote=FALSE' cu Philipp -- Dr. Philipp Pagel Tel. +49-89-3187-3675 Institute for Bioinformatics / MIPS Fax. +49-89-3187-3585 GSF - National Research Center for Environment and Health Ingolstaedter Landstrasse 1 85764 Neuherberg, Germany http://mips.gsf.de/~pagel
Maybe I don't understand your questions, but the documentation for
"write.table" in S-Plus 2000, 6.2, and R 1.8.1 all mention a parameter
"sep". Will this fix your problem?
hope this helps. spencer graves
