writeToCsv: Write data from an R object to a csv file

In trinostics/excelRio: Excel R Input Output

Description

Use this function to the values of an R variable to a csv file.

Usage

  writeToCsv(data, file = deparse(substitute(data)), 
            header, rowheader = TRUE, 
            overwrite = FALSE, na = "", ...)
  

Arguments

data	name of R object to write out
file	file to write to; default is the name of the R object
header	do you want to write out the column header(s)/names(s) too?
rowheader	do you want to write out the row header(s)/name(s) too?
overwrite	If TRUE, file will always be overwritten. If FALSE, file will never be overwritten. If "version", the first version of the filename of the form 'file-xx.csv' that doesn't yet exist will be created, up to a maximum of xx=99.
na	the string to use for missing values in the data
...	arguments to be passed to other methods

Details

Essentially a wrapper for R's write.csv function that standardizes the argument list throughout the excelRio package, does some error checking, and enables a simple "version-ing" for different iterations of the same data variable.

Value

The name with path of the file written.
