I was preparing an e-mail for the help list and ran across a quandary.
When asking for help it is useful to include the code/data so others can
run your code and test it. I was running code on a data frame and wanted
to include a small version of the data frame. The data frame was based
on experimental data. What is the best way to do this? I didn't want to
send an attachment so a wrote code to generate the data frame but it was
a bit cumbersome. Everything worked as planned but then I saw my error
and never had to send to e-mail (perhaps there is hope for me yet). Is
there an easier way to export a SMALL data frame so you can recreate it
using the example code that can be placed in the posting guide? Is it
really a good idea to show people how to do this as we run the risk of
someone sending a huge e-mail? Perhaps the "manual method" is really the
best way to go, submitted for your consideration.
