Hello,
I am having a problem with write.fwf in Windows. I wrote a code to ingest a
number of text files with weather data in them, process them, and then
output a text file with two parts: 1) a set of column names, 2) the
processed data table.
I wrote and tested the program on my Mac, and it worked fine. However, on
the windows machine, where I intend the work to be done, when I run the
following line (last line of the script):
> write.fwf(outframe,file=outfile1,sep="",quote=FALSE,rownames=FALSE,colnames=FALSE,
+
width=c(4,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8),append=TRUE,justify='right')
I get the following error:
Error in data.frame(colname = colnamesMy, nlevels = 0, position = 0, width =
0, :
arguments imply differing number of rows: 0, 1
In addition: Warning message:
In write.fwf(outframe, file = outfile1, sep = "", quote = FALSE, :
recycling 'width'
I can't see the reason for this. The data in outframe are all numeric, and
it worked on the Mac, and outframe has 7 rows on Windows and on the Mac, so
I am not sure what is going on here.
Here is my traceback() and sessionInfo() in case it helps:
>traceback()
3: stop("arguments imply differing number of rows: ", paste(unique(nrows),
collapse = ", "))
2: data.frame(colname = colnamesMy, nlevels = 0, position = 0, width = 0,
digits = 0, exp = 0, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
1: write.fwf(outframe, file = outfile1, sep = "", quote = FALSE,
rownames = FALSE, colnames = FALSE, width = c(4, 8, 8, 8,
8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8), append = TRUE,
justify = "right")

Any advice on this will be much appreciated.
