Field names abbreviated for ESRI Shapefile driver
Dear Milu, ESRI shapefile format cannot contain field names longer than 10 characters. So you should do one of the following options: - choose other file format when saving the data, - rename the columns of the sf object before saving.

Greetings, i am trying to export a shapefile using the following command; st_write(weight.sf, "weight.shp, driver="ESRI Shapefile") But getting the following warning; 1: In abbreviate_shapefile_names(obj) : Field names abbreviated for ESRI Shapefile driver The variable names have the following pattern; "weight_2010" but become like this "w__201". How can I preserve field/variable names? Thank you. Best regards, Milu [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
