Hi Daniel,
You did not make clear why you want to export the data. If you want to
export data to another program the usual way to export data to a text
file is through the use of write.table(). Something along the lines of:
summary(cars) # cars is a standard R dataset
write.table(summary(cars), file = "dataexp.txt")
?write.table
If you want to store R data to read it back into R again I would
recommend the save() option in combination with the load option. Example:
x = summary(cars)
save(x, file = "dataexp.rda") # The extension of the file is not really
important
# Load a new R session
load("dataexp.rda") # This makes the object "x" available in the new session
cheers,
Paul

Hi,
I’m trying to built a simple function that allows me to export
automatically some results to a text file. I’ve tried the two following
approaches but none worked.
exportdata<-function(x) {
+ dataexp<-summary(x)
+ export(dataexp,type="ascii",file="dataexp.txt")
+ }
exportdata(glm.poisson0)
Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : object "dataexp" not found
exportdata2<-function(x) {
sink("exportdata2.txt")
summary(x)
sink()
}
exportdata2(glm.poisson0) # the file is created but with no data in it.
Can anyone give me some hints on what I’m missing here? I would be very
grateful for that.
Thanks.
