I want to save the output of summary(df_name) to a disk file and my
research found that the sink() function is what I want to use. The 'R Cookbook'
provides a an alternative example using cat() to a connection. Here,
con <- file("wysumallyrs.txt", "w")
cat(summary(wyallyrs), file=con)
close(con)
produces this output:
Length:402531 Class :character Mode :character NA NA NA NA
Length:402531 Class :character Mode :character NA NA NA NA Min.
:90.65 1st Qu.:93.81 Median :94.14 Mean :93.86 3rd Qu.:94.43
Max. :98.91 NA's :225 Min. :1988-10-01 1st Qu.:1996-02-01 Median

16:00:00 Max. :2018-06-21 00:00:00 NA
Is there a way to format this output as it is on the console when the
script contains
sum <- summary(wyallyrs)
print(sum)
