Re: [R] basic inquiry regarding write.csv

this is the code that i have so far: > data.path <- file.path ("D:/documents/research/5 stations") > setwd(data.path) > getwd() > data <- dir(".") > num.files <- length(data) > for(i in 1:num.files) { + station.id <- substring(data[i], 1,8) + DF <- read.table(data[i], sep=",", blank.lines.sk

Re: [R] basic inquiry regarding write.csv

So far, I cannot see any mistake, though the sep="" will be more elegant that sep=",". Are you sure your working directory is "E:/my_work_directory"? and is there any error msg? BTW, a reproducible example will help to get better response from the list. 2009/2/18 CJ Rubio : > > thanks for your re

Re: [R] basic inquiry regarding write.csv

thanks for your reply.. is there something wrong with the code i have? because it doesn't write the file in the directory that i am using... for (i in names(y)) > {write.csv(y[[i]], file=paste(i, ".csv", sep=","))} thanks again.. ronggui-2 wrote: > > If the "file" is a relative path,

Re: [R] basic inquiry regarding write.csv

If the "file" is a relative path, then it should be in the working directory. Say, the working directory is E:/my_work_directory (of course, you can get it by getwd()), and you export a data frame "a" to csv by: write.csv(a, file="a.csv"), then the file should be "E:/my_work_directory/a.csv". Best
