Description Usage Arguments

View source: R/write.tidy.R

Description

Writes a tidy csv file. Primarily a convience wrapper around write.csv, defaults to not writing rownames and NA = "".

Usage

1
write.tidy(x, file = "", row.names = FALSE, na = "", excel = F, ...)

Arguments

x

the object to be written, preferably a matrix or data frame. If not, it is attempted to coerce x to a data frame.

file

either a character string naming a file or a connection open for writing. "" indicates output to the console.

row.names

either a logical value indicating whether the row names of x are to be written along with x, or a character vector of row names to be written.

na

the string to use for missing values in the data.

excel

a logical value indicating whether the newly written file should be opened in Excel

...

Arguments passed on to utils::write.table

append

logical. Only relevant if file is a character string. If TRUE, the output is appended to the file. If FALSE, any existing file of the name is destroyed.

quote

a logical value (TRUE or FALSE) or a numeric vector. If TRUE, any character or factor columns will be surrounded by double quotes. If a numeric vector, its elements are taken as the indices of columns to quote. In both cases, row and column names are quoted if they are written. If FALSE, nothing is quoted.

eol

the character(s) to print at the end of each line (row). For example, eol = "\r\n" will produce Windows' line endings on a Unix-alike OS, and eol = "\r" will produce files as expected by Excel:mac 2004.

dec

the string to use for decimal points in numeric or complex columns: must be a single character.

col.names

either a logical value indicating whether the column names of x are to be written along with x, or a character vector of column names to be written. See the section on ‘CSV files’ for the meaning of col.names = NA.

qmethod

a character string specifying how to deal with embedded double quote characters when quoting strings. Must be one of "escape" (default for write.table), in which case the quote character is escaped in C style by a backslash, or "double" (default for write.csv and write.csv2), in which case it is doubled. You can specify just the initial letter.

fileEncoding

character string: if non-empty declares the encoding to be used on a file (not a connection) so the character data can be re-encoded as they are written. See file.
