Dear all,
I found one possible solution using a single call to write.table:
# assuming that mylist is a named list of data.frames:
data(Orange)
mylist=list(Orange1=Orange,Orange2=Orange,Orange3=Orange)
sapply(1:length(mylist),
function(x){
write.table(
data.frame(mydf=rep(names(mylist)[[x]],dim(mylist[[x]])[1]),mylist[[x]]),
sep="\t",append=T,file="My.data.frames.txt")
}
)
Best wishes,
Christoph
