Export Data

Description

Exports a data frame to a text-based file.

Usage

exportRDB(x, file.name = "data.rdb", col.names = NULL, meta = FALSE,
  code.rule = 10)

Arguments

`x`	the data frame to be written.
`file.name`	a character string naming the file for output.
`col.names`	a vector of column names to use instead of the column names in `x`.
`meta`	a logical value indicating whether the header should include a metadata template for documentation or not.
`code.rule`	an integer value indicating how many unique numeric values should be included in the metadata template for cases where each distinct value has a descriptive meaning rather than a numeric meaning.

Details

Setting the meta argument to TRUE generates a header that contains a template that can be edited by the user to describe the contents of the file.
