Hi, I have a long vector which I want to export as a simple ascii text file via write(1:600, file='test.txt', sep=',') When I open the text file with my text editor I see that the data is structured in columns. So it seems that line breaks are introduced. How can I prevent this? Thank you!
export vector with write() introduces line breaks

1. Read ?write carefully. Note what it says about write() writing to columns and the link to cat(). 2. Use cat() with appropriate arguments to write your file instead. e.g. cat(1:600, file=yourfile,fill=FALSE) Cheers, Bert On Sat, Nov 16, 2013 at 11:20 AM, Martin Batholdy
