Hi Bert,

Thanks for the reply.

I did see the parameter, but was not sure if this is the correct parameter to reference. I also see it in write.csv.

I take it you are saying the eol parameter is the best practice for exporting from R using these functions. Am I correct or is there another option other than write.csv and write.table I should be considering?


Thanks,

    Hi All,


    I am writing with a question about choosing the line ending aspect
    of a
    file, please.

    I use write.csv and write.table to export work to CSV files and TXT
    files. I am planning now on how to share my work with the Windows
    crowd
    beyond only sharing with the Linux crowd. I use my text editor to
    flip
    the line ending option from Linux to Windows after exporting. This is
    inefficient for me to accomplish if I ramp up production as I expect
    will occur.

    Staying with the character encoding of UTF-8 seems fine for now from
    what I understand I need to deliver to my customers.

    What seems more efficient to me is to learn how to use R to define
    the
    line ending aspect of the exported file. I have not found if this
    is an
    option within R.

    QUESTION
    Is it possible within R to define the line ending aspect of file
    output?


    Kindest Regards,
