Well, you did not specify the object to save in write.table(). Suppose you want to save the following:
x <- matrix( c(1:25), nrow=5) write.table(x, file="c:/my.output.file.txt") If all goes well, you should see the prompt without any message. Also use "/" rather than "\" as it is reserved for escape sequences. You might also consider setting the option sep="\t" and quote=FALSE to make it truly tab-delimited file. There is also row.names, col.name option. Try reading the R Data Import/Export or write.table() again. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Miettinen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 9:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [R] Simple question about export Hi, Sorry about making this stupid question, but I did not find the answer from documentation. I managed to read my spss .sav file into the R, no problem. Next I would like to write this data to a file in ascii-format. I tried to use write.table and I got no error messages, but no file either. What is the right way to make it? At least write.table("c:\foo\data.dat") does not work.. Thanks in advance!
