[R] How to write output in a specific formate with irregular space
Dear R users: My question is how to write output in a specific formate with irregular spacing? Say that I have the following DF with three columns (A-C): A B C a10 100.0 212 The objective is to write an output file such that column A occupies 1-10 spaces aligned to the left, column B occupies 11-15 spaces aligned to the right, and finally column C takes 16-25 spaces aligned to left. In other words, this is what it should be looked like, where the first row is simply the indices for "space". 1234567890123456789012345 a10 100.0212 Thank you Yihsu Chen The Johns Hopkins University
