Subject: Novice problems with write()
In-Reply-To: <200402032240.i13MeOwd002189@hypatia.math.ethz.ch>
R-Users,
As a relatively new user of R, I have a quick (and probably
simple) question about using write(). I have a population simulation that
I am running and I want to output a set of variables for each run of the
simulation into a text file for use in another program. However, whenever
I attempt to use write(), the only output that I am able to get is the
final numbers from the simulation.
for example:
x <- 5
for (i in 1:10){
z <- x+i
print(z)
write(z, "c:/test.txt")
}
In this simple case, with print(z) I can see that z has what I am looking
for, but all that is output for the write statement is 15; While this is
simplified, it shows my problem.
I searched the help files, and on the R website, but I could not find
anything addressing this. I suspect that it is my lack of knowledge and I
am missing something obvious (or should be using write.table). If anyone
could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
