write.data: Create text data files using convenient defaults

In preputils: Utilities for Preparation of Data Analysis

Description

Several presets are provided for creating text data files. Functions are based on write.table, with some predefined extras to save time when writing data sets to clear text files

Usage

write.tab(data, filename, sep="\t", quote=FALSE, row.names=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

data	name of object to be saved
filename	File name
sep	Column separator, see details
quote	Should text data be quoted? Default FALSE
row.names	Whether rownames whould be included in output, default=FALSE
...	Further arguments passed on to write.table()

Details

Both of the named functions just use the filename as 2nd positional argument and call write.table(). Difference between both is that write.tab has predefined the column separator as "\t", while write.space uses the write.table default " ".

Examples

    ## Not run: 
        write.tab(iris,"~/iris_tab.txt")
        write.space(iris,"~/iris_space.txt")
    
## End(Not run)
