Hi Aparna, you could always use the write.table function and set sep="". This will put all of your data into a sort of "fixed-width" column depending on what you specify to separate the values. See basic example below:

x<-matrix(nrow=2, ncol=2, c(1,2,3,4))
write.table(x, "/Users/morse07/Desktop/x.txt", sep="", col.names=FALSE, row.names=FALSE)

Note that any spaces you insert between the "" after the sep command will insert 1 fixed-width column per space in your file.

Hope that helps,
Brendan

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?

Thanks in Advance
