write_lines: Write lines to a file

In brio: Basic R Input Output

Write lines to a file

Description

The text is converted to UTF-8 encoding before writing.

Usage

write_lines(text, path, eol = "\n")

Arguments

text	A character vector to write
path	A character string giving the file path to write to.
eol	The end of line characters to use between lines.

Details

The files are opened in binary mode, so they always use exactly the string given in eol as the line separator.

To write a file with windows line endings use write_lines(eol = "\r\n")

Value

The UTF-8 encoded input text (invisibly).

Examples

tf <- tempfile()

write_lines(rownames(mtcars), tf)

# Write with Windows style line endings
write_lines(rownames(mtcars), tf, eol = "\r\n")

unlink(tf)
