write.table vs. read.table and the argument "fill"
Well, it could be a list variable. foo<- 1:7 bar<-1:9 rab<-list(foo,bar) I suppose I could do something like oof<-rbind(foo,bar) write.table(oof) #ignore the warnings and then ignore or delete the redundant items in the output file.

Hi Carl, What would the "equivalent" argument for write.table do? Or perhaps to rephrase my question what type of R object do you have in mind to write that is a "ragged array"? Josh On Sat, May 7, 2011 at 7:38 AM, Carl Witthoft<carl at witthoft.com> wrote:
Just wondering how come read.table lets you specify fill=TRUE for ragged arrays, but so far as I can tell, no equivalent for write.table? Not a big deal, since I'm perfectly comfortable w/ write and scan and the other file I/O goodies. "A foolish inconsistency..." and all that.
