dump("yourObject", file=stdout()) is, IMO, a bit nicer than plain dput(yourObject). It makes copying and pasting even easier by putting "yourObject <-" in front of dput()'s output so readers don't have to type that themselves.
E.g., > myData <- data.frame(X=1:2, Y=c(exp(1), pi)) > dump("myData", file=stdout()) myData <- structure(list(X = 1:2, Y = c(2.71828182845905, 3.14159265358979 )), .Names = c("X", "Y"), row.names = c(NA, -2L), class = "data.frame") > dput(myData) structure(list(X = 1:2, Y = c(2.71828182845905, 3.14159265358979 )), .Names = c("X", "Y"), row.names = c(NA, -2L), class = "data.frame") Bill Dunlap TIBCO Software wdunlap tibco.com On Wed, Aug 24, 2016 at 3:12 PM, John Sorkin <jsor...@grecc.umaryland.edu> wrote: > Jim, > Yes, you are correct! > Give yourself a pat on the back and a gold start > THANK YOU, > John > > > John David Sorkin M.D., Ph.D. > Professor of Medicine > Chief, Biostatistics and Informatics > University of Maryland School of Medicine Division of Gerontology and > Geriatric Medicine > Baltimore VA Medical Center > 10 North Greene Street > GRECC (BT/18/GR) > Baltimore, MD 21201-1524 > (Phone) 410-605-7119 > (Fax) 410-605-7913 (Please call phone number above prior to faxing) > >>> Jim Lemon <drjimle...@gmail.com> 08/24/16 6:05 PM >>> > Hi John, > I think it is "dput". > > Jim > > > On Thu, Aug 25, 2016 at 8:00 AM, John Sorkin > <jsor...@grecc.umaryland.edu> wrote: > > > > There is a function that can be used to convert data structures such as > a data frame into a different format that allows the data to be sent to the > mailing list.
