?cat

You could follow each row of the transposed matrix with a <newline>:

apply(t(XYbyT), 1, function(x) cat(x, "\n", file="output.txt", append=TRUE) )

Thanks for your reply.

Is there a way I can save the data to an ascii file without losing the
row/column structure?
I have tried save(...) and write.table(...) but the output file seems to
jumble up the order of the matrix.

Thanks
Xi

XYT <- array(1:150, dim=c(3,5,10))
XYbyT= matrix(apply(XYT, 3, I), ncol=10)

...or even...

XYbyT= matrix(XYT, ncol=10)

Hi

I have some data with these dimensions:
5 3 100

which correspond to the x, y, and time dimensions, for a variable, p.

I need the data in this format: 100 rows (1 row per time unit), and 15
values in each row.

I have attempted to reshape my data

dim(data)
5 3 100

attr(data,'dim')<-c(dim(data)[3],dim(data)[1]*dimdata[2])

So I get data with 100 rows, 15 columns.

I need to use this data outside of R, and so have to save it as an
ASCII
file that retains the row-column structure of the data, but I do not
know
how to.

It would be ideal if I could end up with a text file that also has an
additional column that labels which time unit (1-100) the row
belongs to,
i.e.

1   a1,1  a1,2 ........... a1,15
2   a2,1  a2,2 ........... a2,15
3   a3,1  a3,2 ........... a3,15
4   a4,1  a4,2 ........... a4,15
.
.
.
99
100

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Xi
