[R] Not getting all data to a text file via write.table

[Jan_Svatos@eurotel.cz]

Hi,

look more deeply at

?write.table

>From wite.table help:

`write.table' prints its required argument `x' (after converting
it to a data frame if it is not one already) to `file'.  The
entries in each line (row) are separated by the value of `sep'.

Therefore,

>write.table(df, file=myfile.csv, sep=";")
gives the exact output independent on screen constraints.


Or try
>library(MASS)
>?write.matrix

BTW,
R as really excellent statistical software has MUCH better tools for
analysis of residuals than any spreadsheet calculator including Excel,
therefore I use R for such analysis. Try

>?lm.influence

HTH,
Jan

Subject: [R] Not getting all data to a text file via write.table

Hi all- Thanks in advance for your help.

 I have a 2275x1 table of residuals from an lm() regression.
 I want to analyze this further in Excel.  I tried using:

 df<-resid(object)
 write.table(df)

and this yields a nice looking output in R, but because of screen
constraints, I seem to loose data "out-the-top" of the Console -- which
doesn't bother me, as long as I can see it eventually.  But when i clicked
on the RGui tool bar File|Save to file|, etc., only what I could see in the
Console seemed to be saved to the text file.

 Obviiously, I am a newbie -- How can I get the entire output into this
textfile?

 Again, thanks!  Enjoy the Holiday weekend!
