If that is what you tried, then you didn't supply the object to the write.table function. e.g. if your data.frame is called mydata in R you need
write.table(mydata,"c:/foo/data.dat") The file is ascii. Note also that you either have to use forward slashes (as above) or double backslashes write.table(mydata,"c:\\foo\\data.dat") R doesn't do the expected thing with single backslashes as you wrote it. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Michael Miettinen Sent: 12 March 2003 15:13 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!
