Hi, No problem. You could try:
printer = file("out.txt","w") writeLines("This is line.",con=printer,sep=" ") writeLines("The same line.",con=printer) close(printer) #or cat(sprintf("This is line %d. ",1),file="out.txt",append=TRUE) cat("The same line.",file="out.txt",append=TRUE) A.K. Thank you very much, I just have one more simple question. It worked with writing "w" when opening the file. However another problem occoured, When I wrote \n, it went two lines down, so I had to do this, witout \n printer = file("out.txt","w") write(sprintf("This is line %d.",1),printer,append=T) write("This is line 2.",printer,append=T) close(printer) However, sometimes, I do not want to start on the new line, it depends on the situation. That is I may write something to a file. And then I want to add to the same line a new string: " The same line." Like this. printer = file("out.txt","w") write(sprintf("This is line %d.",1),printer,append=T) write(" The same line.",printer,append=T) close(printer) But the output is: This is line 1. The same line. How can I make it stop going to the new line automatically. ----- Original Message ----- From: arun <smartpink...@yahoo.com> To: R help <r-help@r-project.org> Cc: Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 10:53 PM Subject: Re: writing multiple lines to a file HI, May be this helps: printer1<- file("out1.txt","w") write(sprintf("This is line %d.\n",1),printer1,append=TRUE) write("This is line 2",printer1,append=TRUE) close(printer1) #or printer1<- file("out1.txt","w") writeLines("This is line",con=printer1,sep="\n") writeLines("This is line 2",con=printer1) close(printer1) A.K. Hello, I am trying to wrote multiple lines to a file, but I only seem to be able to write the last line. printer = file("out.txt") write(sprintf("This is line %d.\n",1),printer,append=T) write("This is line 2.",printer,append=T) close(printer) How can I fix this? I would like to be able to do this in a for-loop with hundreds of elements. ______________________________________________ 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.
