This means that for the \\ at the end of lines of tables you need to
double each backslash. e.g. for some tables I produced I had R code like

You can use write.table to produce the data portion of the table, which is a bit simpler eg write.table(round(x,2),quote=FALSE,sep="$ & $",eol="$\\\\ \n $",col.names=FALSE,row.names=FALSE) where the $ signs ensure that negative numbers are printed with a minus sign rather than a hyphen. -thomas Thomas Lumley Assistant Professor, Biostatistics University of Washington, Seattle -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
