Hello, I tried to turn lists into vectors and then bind them together in order to create a dataframe but if, after this, I try to use the function write.table I get the following error message: Error in write.table(x, file, nrow(x), p, rnames, sep, eol, na, dec, as.integer(quote), : 'list' type not implemented in 'EncodeElement' Here is what I've done: as.vector(c(unique(portate$Anno)))->anno as.vector(loadListPO4)->loadPO4 as.vector(loadListPTG)->loadPTG as.vector(loadListNT)->loadNT as.vector(loadListNH4)->loadNH4 as.vector(loadListNO3)->loadNO3 as.vector(loadListBOD5)->loadBOD5 as.vector(loadListSiO2)->loadSiO2 cbind(anno,loadPTG,loadPO4,loadNT,loadNH4,loadNO3,loadBOD5,loadSiO2)->carichi as.data.frame(carichi)->carichi.annui
#if I type carichi.annui #I get anno loadPTG loadPO4 loadNT loadNH4 loadNO3 loadBOD5 loadSiO2 1 2002 3.399518 1.382235 390.6959 22.07992 256.2244 492.9177 150.6505 2 2003 1.559606 0.6271712 202.9181 6.198592 145.9498 63.07578 68.08632 3 2004 2.363862 0.9493779 292.0841 12.21207 200.2545 141.0533 105.2409 4 2005 1.655554 0.6570313 217.2192 6.58045 155.7393 66.44154 73.0394 5 2006 1.827174 0.7290634 235.7914 7.858396 166.8327 79.2474 80.92576 6 2007 1.742629 0.6891045 228.0253 7.130082 162.6692 71.91434 77.22507 7 2008 0.8382246 0.3612176 110.9079 2.024197 86.60459 25.46127 32.9733 #which looks lika a data frame #And if I type is.data.frame(carichi.annui) # I get this: [1] TRUE #but if I try write.table(carichi.annui, "carichi.annui.lav") #It doesn't work?!?!?! Does someone have an explanation? Thanks a lot for any help!!
