Dear Milu,
ESRI shapefile format cannot contain field names longer than 10 characters. So you should do one of the following options:
- choose other file format when saving the data,
- rename the columns of the sf object before saving.

Greetings,

i am trying to export a shapefile using the following command;

st_write(weight.sf, "weight.shp, driver="ESRI Shapefile")

But getting the following warning;

1: In abbreviate_shapefile_names(obj) :
   Field names abbreviated for ESRI Shapefile driver

The variable names have the following pattern; "weight_2010" but
become like this "w__201". How can I preserve field/variable names? Thank
you.

Best regards,

Milu
