[R] write.table column names shift

[dennis11]

Hi everyone,

I want to write some data to file, for example

a = c(1,2,3,4,5)
b = c(5,6,7,8,9)

write.table(cbind(a,b), file = R output.csv, sep = ,)

The result is this:

a   b   
1   1   5
2   2   6
3   3   7
4   4   8
5   5   9

It added an index and shifted the column names by one, b is above a, and a
is above the added index.

Does anybody know a way to prevent this shift from happening? Thanks in
advance.

Kind regards,

Dennis

Try the option row.names=FALSE in write.table then no index is written.
