This presumes that 'data[["material"]]' is numeric. It is unnecessary to put the output data into a separate vector d (it is already in a vector that is part of the 'data' data frame). I would just overwrite `d` (or `d1`) each time through the loop:
for (i in seq_along( data[["material"]] ) ){ d <- data[i,c("material")] fileConn <- file(paste0("TESTI/d", i, ".txt")) writeLines(d, fileConn) close(fileConn) } or for ( i in seq_along( data[["material"]] ) ){ writeLines( data[i,c("material")], file=paste0("TESTI/d", i, ".txt" ) ) } -- Sent from my phone. Please excuse my brevity.
