Hi Kristian, If I understand correctly, you probably want to use paste():
myfun <- function(x=peter){ y <- x/2 filename <- paste(x, ".csv", sep="") write.csv(y, file = filename) } HTH, Ivan Le 10/13/2011 11:52, Kristian Lind a écrit :
Dear R-users, I'm writing a program that constructs a dataset. I wish to save the dataset to a file. Here's a very simple example of what I'm trying to do function(x=peter){ y<- x/2 write.csv(y, file = "...\x") } The problem is that I want to name the dataset as whatever the name of the input is. In this case peter. How do I do this? Thank you in advance.
