How to reassemble $components in coleo(ade4)?

Dear St?phane,

thanks for your explanation. The question is how do I export the 
complete data set as one matrix.
The write.table() function as such did not work since there are 
different argument length (110, 32, 9). Following your hint I used

write.table(coleo, file = "coleo.txt", sep = " ", 

row.names=species.names, column.names=moda.names)

but this failed as well due to "unused arguments".

What did I miss?

Thank you for your help!

Best,
Mark

Dear Mark,
data are in the tab component and you can export it. species.names 
can be used as row.names. moda.names corresponds to column names. It 
contains modalities names of fuzzy variables. The name of variables 
are in col.blocks.

e.g.
The first variable (Vegetation) has 4 modalities:

coleo$moda.names[1:4]

[1] "Macrophytes"        "Algae"              "Roots_Branches"   [4] 
"Detrital_particles"


Hope this helps,
Cheers.

Dear list,

we are struggling to reassemble the components from the coleo data 
set in the ade4 package. There are 5 components (tab, species.names, 
moda.names, families, col.blocks) with different length and class type.

Is there a way to reassemble the $components together to obtain the 
data as a single matrix which then can be exported, e.g. as .csv or 
else using write.table()?

Thank you very much for a suggestion.
Mark
