Answer 1

Hi Payal,

These are the ways to write text files from R.

var - R Variable.

1. Comma delimited text file - use write_csv(var,"path/filename.csv")

write_csv(m,"path/file.csv")

2. CSV to Excel file - use write_excel_csv(var,"path/filename.csv")

write_excel_csv(p,"path/file.csv")

3. Text files with tab - use write_fwf(var,"path/filename.fwf") or write_tsv()

write_fwf(k,"path/file.fwf")

write_tsv(k,"path/file.tsv")

4. line to file -  use write_lines(var,"path/filename.csv")

write_lines(c,"path/file.csv")

5. Full text file - use write_file(var,"path/filename.csv")

write_file(b,"path/file.txt")

6. Any delimited file -  use write_delim(var,"path/filename.csv")

write_delim(a,"path/file.txt")

hope it helps!
