Dear R-list This is just message to inform that the there is an issue with write.fwf in the gdata library (from version 2.5.0 on). It does not seem to accept further arguments to write.table like "eol" as the help file indicates as it stops when executing tmp <- lapply(x, format.info, ...). Great package though - I use it a lot except for this function :) See example below.
> require(gdata) > saveto <- tempfile(pattern = "test.txt", tmpdir = tempdir()) > write.fwf(x = data.frame(a=1:length(LETTERS), b=LETTERS), file=saveto, > eol="\r\n") Error in FUN(X[[1L]], ...) : unused argument(s) (eol = "\r\n") > sessionInfo() R version 2.12.0 (2010-10-15) Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) locale: [1] LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C [3] LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 [5] LC_MONETARY=C LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 [7] LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NAME=C [9] LC_ADDRESS=C LC_TELEPHONE=C [11] LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=C attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] gdata_2.8.0 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] gtools_2.6.2 kind regards, Jan [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
