I cannot reproduce your problem on a Windows 8 machine with R version 3.2.1. It
is working fine for me without "file=" when I source() a script file from the
console.
Open a script file and add the following commands:
test <- data.frame(x=rnorm(15, 10, 2), y=rnorm(15, 15, 3))
write.csv(test, "test.csv")
file.info("Test.csv")
Save it as test.R and then source it:
> source("Test.R", echo=TRUE)
> test <- data.frame(x=rnorm(15, 10, 2), y=rnorm(15, 15, 3))
> write.csv(test, "test.csv")
> file.info("Test.csv")
size isdir mode mtime ctime
Test.csv 600 FALSE 666 2015-08-04 10:13:23 2015-08-04 10:11:56

Subject: [R] write.csv file= question
Hello,
I have a quick question about the “file=“ specification for the command
write.csv. When I run this command in Rstudio I do not need the “file=“
specified. For example the below command works just fine.
write.csv(data,”/home/data.csv”)
However when I am running an Rscript from the terminal and putting it in the
background I need to specify “file=“. So for the example above I need to
instead have
write.csv(data,file=”/home/data.csv”)
Any ideas why this is the case? Writing file= isn’t a problem, just trying to
get an idea of how R works better.
Thanks!
