[Markus Gesmann]

Graham,

I think you are right, it only works for a data.frame.

Cheers,

Markus

Markus,

Should this work with something like the results produced by summary(x) or does it only work with data frames.

As always I find the help rather terse and impenetrable, but it seems to be aimed exporting data frames rather than analysis output tables - hopefully I have misunderstood.
