write_data: Write common file formats

In itsdalmo/officeR: A toolbox for seamlessly integrating R

Description

A simple wrapper for writing common data formats. The format is determined by the extension given in file. Flat files are written with readr, and the encoding is always UTF-8. For xlsx, the function uses to_excel (which in turn uses openxlsx).

Usage

write_data(x, file, ..., delim = NULL)

## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
write_data(x, file, ..., delim = NULL)

## S3 method for class 'list'
write_data(x, file, ...)

## S3 method for class 'ggplot'
write_data(x, file, ...)

Arguments

x	The data to be written. (data.frame or list. matrix and table will be coerced to a data.frame.
file	Path and filename of output.
...	Further arguments passed to underlying functions. (Currently: save, saveWorkbook, ggsave, write_delim and write_sav.)
delim	The delimiter to use when writing flat files.

Note

Use lapply to write a list of data to flat files (csv, txt etc).
