So that if i run the same code the next day the files will not be overwritten. here's what i have to start with: baseDir = getwd() outputDir = paste(baseDir,"/OutputData-", Sys.Date(),sep="") and lets say i want to write the table "test.table" to a file: write.table(test.table, "test.table.txt", sep="\t") How do i make this write to outputDir? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/write-file-to-date-stamped-folder-tp25219504p25219 504.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
