How to Apply the write() Function in R (2 Examples)
In this R programming tutorial you’ll learn how to apply the write() function.
Creating Example Data
my_df <- matrix(1:20, nrow = 4) # Creating matrix in R my_df # Returning example matrix # [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] # [1,] 1 5 9 13 17 # [2,] 2 6 10 14 18 # [3,] 3 7 11 15 19 # [4,] 4 8 12 16 20 |
my_df <- matrix(1:20, nrow = 4) # Creating matrix in R my_df # Returning example matrix # [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] # [1,] 1 5 9 13 17 # [2,] 2 6 10 14 18 # [3,] 3 7 11 15 19 # [4,] 4 8 12 16 20
Example 1: Using write() Function to Return Matrix to Console
write(my_df, # Applying write() function "", sep = "t") # 1 2 3 4 5 # 6 7 8 9 10 # 11 12 13 14 15 # 16 17 18 19 20 |
write(my_df, # Applying write() function "", sep = "t") # 1 2 3 4 5 # 6 7 8 9 10 # 11 12 13 14 15 # 16 17 18 19 20
Example 2: Writing Matrix to New R Window
my_file <- tempfile("data") # Opening temporary file write(my_df, # Applying write() function my_file) if(interactive()) file.show(my_file) # Writing file to new window unlink(my_file) # Unlinking temporary file |
my_file <- tempfile("data") # Opening temporary file write(my_df, # Applying write() function my_file) if(interactive()) file.show(my_file) # Writing file to new window unlink(my_file) # Unlinking temporary file
