Hello,

If you just want to write the matrices to a csv file instead of write.csv you can use write.table with options append=TRUE, sep="," and col.names=FALSE.

If you want to merge (rbind) them, you can use code similar to


pattern1 <- "(^var)[[:digit:]]+(.*$)"
pattern2 <- "(^var)_n_(.*$)"

colnames(Matrix1) <- sub(pattern1, "\\1_n_\\2", colnames(Matrix1))
colnames(Matrix2) <- sub(pattern1, "\\1_n_\\2", colnames(Matrix2))

Mat <- rbind(Matrix1, Matrix2)
colnames(Mat) <- sub(pattern2, "\\1_\\2", colnames(Mat))
Mat

Hope this helps,

A general question that I have been pursuing for some time but have set
aside.  When finishing some analysis, I can have multiple matrices that
have specific column names.  Ideally, I would like to combine these
separate matrices for a final output as a csv file.

A generic example:

Matrix 1
var1A          var1B          var1C
x                      x               x
x                      x               x

Matrix 2
var2A          var2B          var2C
x                      x               x
x                      x               x

I would like a final exportable matrix or dataframe or whichever format is
most workable.

Matrix 3
var1A          var1B          var1C
x                      x               x
x                      x               x

var2A          var2B          var2C
x                      x               x
x                      x               x

However, no matter which function I try reports an error that the column
names are not the same.

Any insights would be appreciated.
Thanks as always,
Charles
