Is there a way to handle the widths of values being written to a file
using wrtite.fwf() ?
For example, I used read.fwf(file, width.vector) to read a file. After
making the necessary data manipulation, I want to write the data to a
new file in the same width.vector format. Is there a way to specify
this?
There is no write.fwf function, but you can use sprintf() to convert
things to strings and writeLines to write those strings. There's a lot
of flexibility in the formats allowed; see the man page.
