[R] write.table and append
Hi,
I am trying to append tables on file with this sample code:
for(i in 1:2){
mat - data.frame(sample(1:30,9),3,3)
colnames(mat) - letters[1:3]
ifelse(i ==
1,write.table(mat,paste('test.txt',sep=''),row.names=F),
write.table(mat,paste('test.txt',sep=''),row.names=F,col.names=F,append=TRUE))
}
However, this gives an error:
Error in ifelse(i == 1, write.table(mat, paste(test.txt, sep = ), :
replacement has length zero
- Should I be passing in some other parameters or using a different
function to append tables to file?
thanks!

Re: [R] write.table and append
I believe your problem stems from using ifelse() actually ... it
requires the statements which it runs to return a value with the same
shape as the test, which write.table() isn't doing.
Just change it to a regular if with an else and you'll be fine:
for(i in 1:2){
mat - data.frame(sample(1:30,9),3,3)
colnames(mat) - letters[1:3]
if(i == 1){
write.table(mat,paste('test.txt',sep=''),row.names=F)
} else {
write.table(mat,paste('test.txt',sep=''),row.names=F,col.names=F,append=TRUE)
}
}
Hope that helps,
Louis

You might try assign each parameter based upon the value of i instead of trying
to manage two different calls to write.table through an ifelse function.
ifelse doesn't seem to like the value returned by write.table (NULL). Here's a
simply example...
ok - ifelse( TRUE, NULL, NULL)
Error in ifelse(TRUE, NULL, NULL) : replacement has length zero
ok - ifelse( FALSE, NULL, NULL)
Error in ifelse(FALSE, NULL, NULL) : replacement has length zero
I think that is what the warning in ?ifelse is alluding to. You would only
know that write.table returns NULL if you have bitten by it before. I have
bite marks.
for(i in 1:2){
mat - data.frame(sample(1:30,9),3,3)
colnames(mat) - letters[1:3]
write.table(mat, file = test.txt,
row.names = FALSE,
col.names = (i == 1),
append = (i != 1) )
}
Cheers,
Ben
