[R] Sending a matrix in an email

2013-11-18 Thread Ira Fuchs
I have a matrix which has colnames and I would like to send this matrix using sendmailR. How can I convert this simple matrix to a format which can be used as the body variable in sendmailR? I see how I can create a file attachment using mime_part but I would like to send the matrix in the body

Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried dput and it did not produce what sendmailR requires for the body parameter. Here is a simplified version of what I need to do: x=matrix(c(1,2,3),1,3) x [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,]123 colnames(x)=c(a,b,c) x a b c [1,] 1 2 3 dput(x)

I think it'd be easier and safer to save the matrix, either as an .Rdata binary or as a text file, zip that file, and use the sendmailR tools to attach the file to your message. Fuchs Ira-3 wrote I have a matrix which has colnames and I would like to send this matrix using sendmailR. How can I

You have not provided the minimal reproducible code that the footer of this email asks for, so we are playing 20 questions. Perhaps you should convert the matrix to a data frame? Or is this an example of FAQ 7.16? --- Jeff

I thought that I had provided an example of what I wanted to do but in any case, capture.output seems to work, as in sendmailR(to,from, capture.output(matrix_to_send)) I'm sure that there are myriad other ways (I tried print, which is mentioned in FAQ 7.16 but it doesn't work in this context)

You provided examples of what you wanted, but not examples where the same code in a different context failed to provide the result you wanted. Reproducible means reproduces the problem. --- Jeff Newmiller

I understand what you are saying. I just didn't think that showing a sendmailR with a matrix as the body of the message would have been very helpful since it is the fact that the received email has no content that is the problem and that would not have shown up in the R console output. On Nov

No, sorry to flog a dead horse, but you do not appear to get it yet and you really should understand this concept. The minimal reproducible example would have been R code that we could run that generated an email that you think should have the matrix in it, but does not. In practically all
