Hi Chris82,

Try this:

res=c(which(a == max(a), arr.ind = T),max(a))
names(res)=c('row','col','value')
write.csv(res,"C://yourfile.csv",row.names=TRUE)

I wasn't sure that max(x) or whatever target was specified would be unique, and in the test case I set up c(which(...) did not maintain the matrix structure, it just appended a vector of row numbers to column numbers and added one max().

Perhaps consider:

x <- matrix(sample(1:10,64,replace=TRUE), nrow=8)
wmtx <- which(x==max(x), arr.ind=TRUE) # a matrix with row and column numbers
wvmtx <- cbind(wmtx,val=max(x)) #argument recycling
df <- as.data.frame(wvmtx)
#if you really need to convert the value to a character then use as.character
df$val <- as.character(df$val)
#-------
> str(df)
'data.frame':   8 obs. of  3 variables:
 $ row: int  1 3 5 5 7 8 4 7
 $ col: int  1 3 3 4 6 6 8 8
 $ val: chr  "10" "10" "10" "10" ...

write.csv(df, <filepath,filename> )

Hello R users,

I want to readout the row and column postion from a certain matrix value
into a csv file.
I have only found this syntax

"which(a == b, arr.ind = T)"

so I get

a = matrix

[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8]
[1,]    1    1    2    2    2    1    1    2
[2,]    1    2    3    3    3    4    4    3
[3,]    3    3    3    5    5    6    5    4
[4,]    4    4    4    3    3    4    4    3
[5,]    3    4    5    3    3    3    2    2
[6,]    3    3    3    3    3    3    2    2
[7,]    2    2    2    2    2    4    2    1
[8,]    1    1    0    0    0    0    0    0

print(max(a))
[1] 6
which(a == max(a), arr.ind = T)
   row col
[1,]   3   6

but I need row and col seperate for the csv file.

row <- c("code for row")
col <- c("code for col")
value <- c("6")

#dataframe

test <- data.frame(row, col, value)

write.csv................

Thanks.
