Re: [R] Formatting summary() output to a file

Given your description, I would start with sink('wysumallyrs.txt') print( summary(wyallyrs) ) sink() and see if that doesn't meet your needs. Some of the basic principles: (1) Whenever you type the name of an R object at the R prompt, it is as if R wraps whatever you typed inside print(). Here

[R] Formatting summary() output to a file

I want to save the output of summary(df_name) to a disk file and my research found that the sink() function is what I want to use. The 'R Cookbook' provides a an alternative example using cat() to a connection. Here, con <- file("wysumallyrs.txt", "w") cat(summary(wyallyrs), file=con) close(con
