Dear Everybody!
I want to export data to LaTeX. As I want to employ the data as freely as
possible I want to avoid the xtable-command and instead generate some List
like
\MyOwnPrettyCommand{Adam}{Auer}{17}
\MyOwnPrettyCommand{Bertram}{Bauer}{14}
\MyOwnPrettyCommand{Christoph}{Huber}{75}
\MyOwnPrettyCommand{Damian}{Dorfer}{69}
\MyOwnPrettyCommand{Emanuel}{Eder}{43}
with \MyOwnPrittyCommand defined elsewhere.
As a pitty, if I make up about such a table in r, lets call it "A",
and use
the commands
sink("tabelle.tex")
A
sink("anderedatei")
tabelle.tex will look like this:
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7]
[1,] "MyOwnPrettyCommand{" "Adam" "}{"
"Auer" "}{" "17" "}"
[2,] "MyOwnPrettyCommand{" "Bertram" "}{"
"Bauer" "}{" "14" "}"
[3,] "MyOwnPrettyCommand{" "Christoph" "}{"
"Huber" "}{" "75" "}"
[4,] "MyOwnPrettyCommand{" "Damian" "}{"
"Dorfer" "}{" "69" "}"
[5,] "MyOwnPrettyCommand{" "Emanuel" "}{"
"Eder" "}{" "43" "}"
So my question is how to export the data properly, without line-indices,
without quotes but WITH backslashes.
Thank you in advance.
Yours,
Mag. Ferri Leberl

It is VERY flexible, and works for me in most cases. Hint 1: "\" rarely works in R as in C, it must be escaped to "\\" Hint 2: To increase you changes of getting a reply, always provide a full example generating the sample data. For example, in most cases "Adam" will be stored as a factor in the dataframe, which make things a bit more tricky. I used I() to avoid this in the example below d = data.frame(name=I(c("Auer","Caesar")), vname=I(c("Dieter","Karl")),age=c(10,30)) for (i in 1:nrow(d)) { d0 = d[i,] cat("\\MyNiceCommand{",d0$name,"}{",d0$vname,"}{",d0$age,"}\n",sep="") } You may nest this with sink, or better use the file argument in cat, don't forget append. Or directly use Rweave, which should not be too difficult for a LaTeXer, and does not require the sink stuff. Dieter
