Hello, I have a quick question about the ?file=? specification for the command write.csv. When I run this command in Rstudio I do not need the ?file=? specified. For example the below command works just fine. write.csv(data,?/home/data.csv?) However when I am running an Rscript from the terminal and putting it in the background I need to specify ?file=?. So for the example above I need to instead have write.csv(data,file=?/home/data.csv?) Any ideas why this is the case? Writing file= isn?t a problem, just trying to get an idea of how R works better. Thanks!
You probably need to ask this on a RStudio forum but my guess is it is just a little 'refinement' that the RStudio people added. Similar in concept o the the matching "".

Call getwd() in both terminal and your RStudio environments and compare results Il 04/ago/2015 16:53, "Brittany Demmitt" <demmitba at gmail.com> ha scritto:> Hello, > > I have a quick question about the ?file=? specification for the command > write.csv.

I cannot reproduce your problem on a Windows 8 machine with R version 3.2.1. It
is working fine for me without "file=" when I source() a script file
from the console.
Open a script file and add the following commands:
test <- data.frame(x=rnorm(15, 10, 2), y=rnorm(15, 15, 3))
write.csv(test, "test.csv")
file.info("Test.csv")
Save it as test.R and then source it:> source("Test.R", echo=TRUE)
> test <- data.frame(x=rnorm(15, 10, 2), y=rnorm(15, 15, 3))
> write.csv(test, "test.csv")
> file.info("Test.csv")
size isdir mode mtime ctime
Test.csv 600 FALSE 666 2015-08-04 10:13:23 2015-08-04 10:11:56
atime exe
Test.csv 2015-08-04 10:11:56 no

Subject: [R] write.csv file= question
Hello,
I have a quick question about the ?file=? specification for the command
write.csv. When I run this command in Rstudio I do not need the ?file=?
specified. For example the below command works just fine.
write.csv(data,?/home/data.csv?)
However when I am running an Rscript from the terminal and putting it in the
background I need to specify ?file=?. So for the example above I need to
instead have
write.csv(data,file=?/home/data.csv?)
Any ideas why this is the case? Writing file= isn?t a problem, just trying to
get an idea of how R works better.
Thanks!
